Soul Spreads its Wings

What is is like to be all
sturdy substance,
stable, poised,
but ardently eager to fly?

What is is like to be all
rhapsodic sound,
rhythmically flourishing,
and melodiously soaring?

What is is like to be all
beguiling color,
chromatically satisfied,
surging and reaching?

What is is like to be all
sincere beauty,
altruistically pure,
mounting on gusts of splendor?

What is is like to be all
indulgent abundance
nourishing and generous,
ample, ever-present, and plush?

What is is like to be all
effusive movement
enthusiastically agile,
cavorting and swooping?

What is is like to be all
euphoric feeling,
embracing reassuringly, while
delivering ascending thoughts?

What is is like to be all
congenial kindness
profoundly honoring, while
cultivating cherishing everywhere?

What is is like to be all
vibrant light
radiantly warm and vivacious
guiding our welcome higher?

What is is like to be all
significant meaning
accurate and eloquent,
elevating every understanding?

What is is like to be all
superb satisfaction
galvanizing and reinforcing,
conveying us outward and onward?

You initiate, endorse, soothe, and savor.
You are a watered garden, a planted seed,
a shimmering sprout, an unfolding smile.
You are unapologetically sagacious.
You are inclusive and benevolent.
Pragmatically you strengthen us,
all while fluttering far and free.
