turned 90 degrees – life expanded
with just that little effort
horizons changed
and everything became new
sit on the floor and observe life above you
or view life below from the top rung of the ladder
new perspectives bear fruits
opportunities, opinions, ideas
most important of all
push the Spirit button
allow your beingness to be
flooded by That perspective
That one branch there
Is supernaturally lit
By the dawning sun
Glowing as if from within
A softened warm light
All highlights brilliant
——————————————
How is it the one was selected
by design or happenstance
And is there a difference
Between the two?
Who cares?
It’s beautiful to behold
And as the balance tipped
Toward the days of shadow
Life falling like leaves
To drift into piles
Or scurry away
According to the whims
Of the wind
Then dreams brightened
Quickened in the bed of silence
Nurtured by the heart’s
Ever hopeful nature
Inner sunshine on a bleak day…
As you fill your cup
with the stuff of Life today
Know that you are loved beyond measure
and the beauty of your container
Is only magnified through
the overflow of Spirit’s essence
“One step at a time…”
we’ve all heard the line
We know it’s true
it sits in our bones
Still, doesn’t it seem
that sometimes
We could just teleport
to our heart’s desire?
Sometimes I notice
the curl of your neck
or some other tender spot
And I’m reminded
In just that moment
of human vulnerabilities
And the warming of the heart
It’s then the butterflies arise again
And I am prompted to say something
