The Gift Of This Moment Poem by Ayni Poet

Gondoliers row their vessels on the turquoise lagoon,
Delighting in the Sun's mild sight,
Children are smiling for the first time,
Letters lay down and cheer books' pages,
Voices join in a bhajan song,
Prayers lift from the hearts of trees,
Skies open their infinite chests,
Forests humbly bow to their firmament,
The air coats in an ylang-ylang veil,
Butterflies are kissing the galaxies,
Some flowers are sleeping
Others tell stories to the wind,
Friends of all species unite in an universal hug,
A few tears are playing on the grass blades
Whispering to each other:
The gift of this moment,
We fully receive!
