let them ring!

it is a blessing to us that you exist

your life a gift to yourself and us
we rejoice in your celebratory impulses
by relating,you make more joy
(some call it poetry-we call it life!
each moment you exist is extra -
heartbeats,drumbeats,flutes,guitars
the music of your smile is a start
Art is life sliced into edible proportions
Unframed and free as air,with extra emotions
Belief is a coat you wrap yourself in winters
Autumn is the Fall.We all live in Eden
with apples and pomegranates
snakes and ex-lovers.Stories are told
and shared round fires.We are in them
You live by tongue and eye and ear and touch
You are more than doubt and pasts
Art that you are makes more
This only begins when you breathe
continues when you sing and smile
becomes astonishing when you are revealed
as these lines are footprints to your heart...
