Lions Mane

Early in the morning there’s a whippoorwill calling the wind
“hurry up daybreak, wake up the robin and wren”

Step into the morning light,
a redtail hawk is singing in flight,
sky is shining blue and bright,
the music of Gaia is ringing

In the afternoon, there’s a daytime moon
cicadas and crickets are buzzing
Seven year locusts and bullfrogs croaking
hummingbirds are humming

Evening sets in, soft as the skin
on the wing of a dragonfly
Heron flies home, high and alone
frogs in the pond sing bye bye

Singing songs the morning
making tunes at night
humming our way all through the day
make everything alright, alright

Moving around in a world of sound
putting out vibrations
harmonize and visualize
peace among all our relations

Make a new sound, let it abound
with the energy of creation
music and play can show us the way
go without hesitation

Singing songs the morning
making tunes at night
humming our way all through the day
make everything alright, alright ~

“Once upon a time, when women were birds, there was the simple understanding that to sing at dawn, and to sing at dusk, was to heal the world through joy. The birds still remember what we have forgotten, that the world is meant to be celebrated.” ~ Terry Tempest Williams
