I am at that point in the day
When your morning
Is spent
More than half the day gone
And your eyes
Start to weigh
More than a ton
That point in the day
When any music
Will lull you to sleep
Even the meeting starts to
Make your eyes water
I am at the point in the day
When the dark warmth
Closes in and
Puts me to sleep
Fast asleep on my desk
Whether or not
Todays sunshine shines
Across the tops of the
Rose garden
Whether or not
The twittering bird
Says hello to the moon
You are loved
You are loved
Whether or not
The mailman
Says goodbye
To the older lady
On the stairs
Whether or not
The baby bear
Finds a place
To see the mountains
You are loved
You are loved
Even the tiniest
Smile
And the smallest
Moments
Show
That you
Are loved
You are loved
Take heart and sing
To yourself
You are loved
You are loved
As the new day dawns
For the millionth time
The sun peeks over
The horizon
It happens every time
But it is still
A blessing
Its still amazing
How the sun
Rises
To meet the day
Discovering that
The new life
I can lead
Is easy
And the yoke is light
For even the tears now
Can turn to a smile in the future
Its an easy
One
Two
Three
Steps and then you will
Find the happiness
That surfaces when you
Find a buttercup
In the garden
Loose leaves
And light colors
Falling through
The branches
To light the way
And keep a lamp at my feet
I look forward with my
Head held high
I heard the chirping
Of the sparrow
Even with
White snow
Covered grass
And it gave me
A hope
That spring
Will rise again
When you breathe and feel
Your whole heart expanding
Meeting a day
A moment
In time
And every fiber
Of your being
Feels wide awake
Charged
Stretching and pacing
Because the energy
Moves and makes
You want to never look back
Too much
So many
Heart pounding
Mind focusing
Sensations
That it overwhelms
Your mind
Running
Chasing
Around thought and ideas
For tomorrow
And the rest of your life
Do you ever
Take a moment
On your commute
To work
And wonder
If there will
Be so much traffic
That you are forced to
Turn around
And go home?
I wouldn’t mind
The bitter biting
Chill
Whipped through
My jacket.
Even though
I wore mittens
My fingers
Clenched together
In utter desperation
To find
Warmth.
Baby its cold outside
And the charm of
These icicles has worn
Thin
For this weather feels
Like the sounding call
Of a mighty
Snow mountain king
There a good happy
Things
In my life
And I took the time
To relish
Just the other day
A glimpse into the present
And I realized
I have more than a full
Life.
It was one of those thoughts
I thought I’d never think
One of those ideas
That I could never call my own
Yes I’ve grown
But I still feel grounded
Realizing that
My life
Is
My home
Oh how I wish to
Rest a little longer
In the warm snuggled
Cocoon of the
Warm sleepy blankets
And forget about
Breakfast
And waking up
To start the day.
Oh how I wish
There was a magical spell
To turn the warm knitted
Comforts of my bed
Into a garment
That I don
This morning
