Celebration of Life

In celestial grounds,
surrounded by lakes and fountains
Fine arches and temples to
ancient gods and goddesses
I meditate on life's gifts and
Diversity

Here in this mystical safe place,
neither heaven nor earth
In deep thought and reflection
I am able to see my life
and marvel at its
complexity and meaning
The stark beauty of existence
Connecting to the natural world
In spiritual continuity with
Heaven
I can rejoice in the simplest
of things

The quality of light, water
and growing things
The sweet, fresh smell of
the earth and leaves
The whispering magic of
water, moving through the air
Birdsong and quiet voices
of lovers

Visions, sounds and smells of
life in celebration
A festival of being
In a world of profound
complexity and vitality
