Pick up all the trash you've thought and tossed along the way
Dust the corners of your processes as you think anew
Take to task the momentary ideas you let pass through
Examine them for what they are not what was implied
Determine where you place them next carefully decide
About the space you are given to arrange your time
To bring forth a new idea in which was to design
A legendary rhyme composed to fill the daunting hours
Of a day clouded with a set of late summer showers
While marigolds and mums alike take time away from sun
To bathe in windy raining day that washes them with fun
Away from heat and rays of light that draw from every stem
In order to produce the flower by which your garden's hemmed
Put away your unknown sources that lead you to dismay
Separate the wrong from right then carry on your way
To a destination where your thoughts are free to flow
Among the blooming trees of notion in your orchards soul
See the flowers topping trees underneath the light
On a day where sprinkled drops of moisture did delight
The spiders webbing in the branches near a bird's tree house
Where rocks below gathered water a bird's bath to allow
Forming in a puddled pond fit for feathered bathing
Displayed in their gathered mirth their pleasures in playing
Without the worry of a foe attempting to bring harm
See the humming birds dart by spreading quick their charms
Still in motion hovering near a hydrangea shrub
Where they find the nectars there sweeten their taste buds
Honey bees stay out of sight keeping close to hives
Ants below still work and toil to keep colonies alive
Thriving in their homes beneath where our eyes can't see
And caterpillars work to spin the cocoons where they'll be
Taking hours days and weeks to shed their former shape
Then chew through the bed they made to finally escape
Into the flight of pollen drifts set before to feast
Every insect, bee and bird that helps nature to bring seed
In wondrous growths of blooming gifts opening to time
Sweep the floors of contemplation and donate to your life
A new beginning in a moment where your world stood still
To watch the way the words would form a thoughtful thankful will
Good night today see you tomorrow snuggle in soft thinking
While the sky poises the sun and stars are quietly twinkling
Add the fragrance of sweetly sleeping to your must do next
Then yield your mind, your hands, and time to all its benefits
Lead yourself down paths of freedom in your visions there
Take heed to give your body all the restful comfort care
Needed to produce the person who you wish to see
In the mirror when you wake to live with and to be
As a part of the whole intricate life theme
Among the many you will pass on your way to being
Unto yourself, unto others, living day to day
Gathering, collecting, cleaning your thoughts along the way
