On a Day Like Today

What could be more beautiful 
Than sunlight on the shore 
And a little boat out rowing 
And just paddling with one ore.

What could make you happier 
Than the sound of passing geese
And seeing golden plane trails
Drawing lines from west to east. 

What could be more magical 
Than aurora’s painted skies 
And watching blue and pink turn
Red; and then green with great surprise. 

What could be more magnificent 
Than a heron as still as stone 
And seeing a super rainbow 
From far away to home. 

What could be more mindful 
Than hearing nothing at all
Except for leaves that crackle 
And the sounds of autumn’s fall. 

What could be more mystical 
Than the foggy mountain’s haze
And the sunset bursts arising 
From the planet’s heating days.

On a day like today…

What could be more beautiful
