" Blue Bird's Dance" We sat by the shore of the pond..As the sun burst forth to keep us warm...Hundreds of blue birds swarmed through the air...Dancing a circular motion just above the water...Singing the praises of spring love...Diving through the air inches from out faces...Showing us their majick of song and dance...Our souls were free for a moment in time....This display of Nature's birds made us one with the divine....You would not believe it unless you were there...Peace came forth as a feather floated to us through the air..Lifting our spirits as if we soured with them...Suspended in air for a moment, then taken away by the wind...To swoop back over the water again and again...Time passed quickly as hours seemed like minutes...We left with a memory of pure delight...for nowhere in heaven or earth....Could a show like the blue bird of paradise dance...Be choreographed with such passion and give so freely......D.
