This year
I watched a parrot
just south of Versailles ..
chickens on Kauai
wild ones that can fly ..
and blurry wings of hummingbirds
against the Tucson sky
I've listened to my favorite sounds
French floating in the air ..
politely soft and gentle
as if no one else was there ..
Mariachi horns proudly proclaim
joyous melodies ..
haunting notes of Hula lay the soul completely bare
Fantastic story tellers
Hula hips and hands ..
Fantástico the passion
where Mariachi stands ..
Fantastique French perception
creative thinkers all ..
each has surely gifted me far beyond my plans
Each day I trek this fertile earth
the choice is mine alone ..
search far and wide for more and more
or make each place my home ..
I declare unto my Self the lives I lead shall be
fantastic - fantastique - fantástico
I do embrace all three
Mahalo, Merci, y Gracias !
Eternally Grateful,
Me
