all around, all around




all around, all around
the world comes to life

the white wing dove waits in the oak
seaching seeds below
wings beat against the still morning air
shaking branch and leaves

all around, all around
the world comes to life

the green hummingbird
darting with his rival
to claim the orange flowers
that crowd the back fence

all around, all around
the world comes to life

the new bloom opens
with movement unseen
petals uncurling against dark leaves
morning is here

all around, all around
the world comes to life

and I belong too
in the coming of the day
waiting with with the dove
hummingbirds rouse me

all around, all around
the world comes to life
