People say that the weather affects your mood, and I totally believe it. Today’s weather is sunny, sunny-er and sunny-est and I am LOVING IT! I spent practically all day up until now just reveling in the sun. I started thinking about sun, which led me to sunbeams, which led me to remember this phrase I heard one time about “dancing sunbeams” which– Well, what I trying to say is that I ended up with today’s poem in my head.
Dance with Me
Dance with me
Through the shaded leaves of trees
Where we can twirl as we jump up and down
Among the gnarled branches
And maybe we’ll hop on the
Wings of a bird
So we can laugh as it flies and
Join in its trilling song
Then we’ll leap into the air
And land on the water
Making every sparkle our spotlight
Spinning faster and faster
Then we’ll jump and land on a sunbeam
And sashay our way up it
Until we reach the top of the sky
And rest our weary feet on the clouds
Dance with me
