humble the day

                            something about this river that rings

                            is it the dipper that dances and sings

                            or the reflection of change

                            somehow it seems to shape me

                            life into a perspective song

                            feeding a simple string movement

                            vibrating rapids like a tool

                            the artist brings no rough draft

                            just plain as day all in my lap

                            incredible beauty in the shape

                            give thanks and humble the day

                            as a rainbow appears out of the water

                            in the mist after rain he followed

                            down the path filled with leaves 

                            he dreamed of the plenty
