those who listen

there are those who do not listen

to advertising slogans, or sing

product jingles under their breath

their music is the trickle of water

over rounded river rocks

and attention is caught, not by

a triple hamburger ad

but by the glimpse

of color on the underside of bird’s wing

as it lifts into flight

such persons tend to fulfill self

with a humble joy of appreciation

of nature and respect for the goodness

of fellow women and men

whose world is spoken

by whispers of gratitude

new year of the horse

haiku

lunar new year births

koi swim under flower petals

Chinese music plucked

dawn sings

sunrise glows muted

through light fog

its brilliant awakening of day

hushed but still singing of the glory

of our gifted world

upright joy

music heals her soul, frees her creativity, showers her with joy

so, being without her piano for five months wore into her being

imagine then her excitement awaiting the delivery of her niece’s

loaned upright and exuberance when it arrived to fit against the angled wall

of her new, happy home

Alisa joyous to see Robyn’s piano arriving
