Early Morning Dance

This morning
quite early,
along the familiar path I take,
a breath of wind stirred the
trees together in songs,
lyrical leaves of wattle and gum,
even the eerie note of 
casuarina's dark whisper is a 
music that lifts my body in
rhythmic response.

    Paul, that’s what I call being “tuned in.” 🙂
