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
