Miracle

The miracle that life is

Something sitting on the edge of the appreciation of life and grief of its loss

A very fine line that only a funambulist could master the balance of

Without falling on either side, of hope or gloom

The balancing act might be the work that keeps us alive

The dance between light and darkness

Breathing in, breathing out

One step after another, on a very tight rope

That is a miracle of grace in itself

Something to aspire to, one day after another

Learning there can be joy in falling

And starting again


In and out

It’s raining outside

Warm and sunny inside

Though a storm is coming

Breathe in and out

Laughter ships a few pages ahead

Hopping to where joy lives

Fear moves in freezing movement

Breathe in and out

Sneezing contracts and releases

Panic swirls in and whips cream

Where cinnamon rolls are sweet

Breathe in and out

Time to go although unclear where

Laying down a path in walking

Breath by breath

In and out


Beautiful

Turquoise sparkle in your eye

Light twinkle in your leaves

Quiet morning sounds

Birds chirping in the wind

The smell of burnt toast

And its delicious envelope

Wrapping you in the present

Warmth of a moment


Clarity

I can see clearly now

The hot air flowing on wood

The music floating in my ears

Drumming, bit by bit

I can see clearly now

When it disappears

When the cloud casts a shadow over

Everything, bit by bit

I can hear clearly now

The music of my soul

Whispering gently in my ears:

Clarity has no words
