ENJOY THE MUSIC & ART: Norah Jones - The Nearness of You

2605

a simple hello -
today's foundation
to a good day

today the sun shines
on my loneliness just like -
tomorrow's memory

should we chant
this little piggy
wrong piggy
should wolf huff and puff could he
blow covid19 away

ace of this era
wear your mask while
keeping hope alive

The Holy Bible tells me "God is love," then i read somewhere, love is God.

the crunch of apple
and sweetness of morning sun
in bird songs sung

near the front gate
ladybird on a leaf-
where the jasmine grows

such is today -
ladybirds crawl lazily
a radiant sun shines
