The colors leap up
filled with storm-cloud thundering,
showering to Earth.

Hidden shadows lurk
beneath heavy tear-stained grief.
My heart can’t let go.

The Journey
Written by Mary Oliver
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice,
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
“Mend my life!”
each voce cried.
But you didn’t stop.
You knew what you had to do
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do,
determined to save
the only life you could save.
This Christmas lingers,
tiptoeing softly within
my haunted heart.

The blessings in life
are found in priceless moments
of everyday life.

Small and beautiful
flowers, shower painted wings
of a masterpiece.

Remember… you are
incredible just the way
creation made you.

The present moment
holds us tightly so we can
feel our holiness.
