“Three Vultures and a Crow,” said the Butterfly to me,<o:p></o:p>

“If that’s not a sign then what else do you think it could possibly be?”<o:p></o:p>

Next thing I know there came along a flittering Dragonfly.<o:p></o:p>

He said, “Just buzzed into your garden today to give you all a Hi five.”<o:p></o:p>

I was sitting there in my circle just as calm as one can be<o:p></o:p>

when Hummingbird came along and fanned her wings right in front of me.<o:p></o:p>

I said, “As you can see little one, that I am here doing quite well,<o:p></o:p>

And as for what this omen is to be, I cannot begin to tell.”<o:p></o:p>

She said, “Something big is going to happen and will happen very soon,<o:p></o:p>

I’m sure you’ll be most delighted and be heels over the moon.”<o:p></o:p>

My heart leapt up with joy over this fantastic news oracle<o:p></o:p>

to see something manifest for me that would be wonderfully historical.<o:p></o:p>

The Wild Iris then said, “Just be patient now and to give it all some time.”<o:p></o:p>

So as I was waiting there most expectantly I decided to spell out this little rhyme.<o:p></o:p>

Next thing I know the tree leaned down and spoke these words to me,<o:p></o:p>

“With your prose here my friend don’t be stingy now, don’t seek economy.”<o:p></o:p>

“You’re writing on my soul, so just let your thoughts fly free.”<o:p></o:p>

I said to the Fig, “Now Figgy my dear, what do you think of that?”<o:p></o:p>

The Fig said, “Just for you my friend, I’ll remove my old figgy hat.”<o:p></o:p>

I looked over to the Chocolate Rose and asked,<o:p></o:p>

“Rose, What do you think is going on?”<o:p></o:p>

She said, “Keep on waiting patiently until the early break of dawn.”<o:p></o:p>

So then the rock whispered up in a voice very softly to astound,<o:p></o:p>

“Keep your head up high and your feet planted firmly on the ground<o:p></o:p>

when all this magic that you get begins to come back around.”<o:p></o:p>

The Jasmine then spoke up as she released her scented sweet perfume,<o:p></o:p>

“In your heart you know you had better try to make some extra room.”<o:p></o:p>

And, next thing I know my little sweetheart did suddenly appear.<o:p></o:p>

I whispered soft I love yous and sweet nothings into her ear.<o:p></o:p>

She said, “That’s so sweet of you for me to hear you say.”<o:p></o:p>

“You make life so delightful in the most unusual way.”<o:p></o:p>

We all stirred inside this enchanted circle as we watched the sun go down<o:p></o:p>

and next thing that we know the moon came up so big, so bright and round.<o:p></o:p>

The lavender moon then glowingly intimated to us, <o:p></o:p>

“Come everyone dance and play with me, It’s in the air,<o:p></o:p>

it’s coming soon, but you’ll have to wait and see,” as Arbutus gave out

her tasty treats while Mr. Woodpecker hammered out his 4/4 beats.<o:p></o:p>

The fountain then gurgled into life as its water spouts took over the show.<o:p></o:p>

They said, “Hey look here now, into this enchanted garden we will flow.”<o:p></o:p>

This magical moment here was such a very nice and sweet surprise<o:p></o:p>

to see the warm glowing lights twinkle in my lover’s beautiful eyes.<o:p></o:p>

So we danced all night as we sang a song while floating in the air<o:p></o:p>

in this magical enchanted garden we didn’t have a worldly care.<o:p></o:p>

We sat back into this luxury as we all held our collective breaths<o:p></o:p>

as our magical friends in this enchanted paradise showed us<o:p></o:p>

that we are all truly blessed.<o:p></o:p>
