Every Atom | No. 108

You are also asking me questions, and I hear you;

I answer that I cannot answer…. you must find out for yourself.

Sitting still

on a blue sky afternoon

watching trees sway in the breeze

listening to the hawk's cry.

Dreaming of the earth around me

the part which lies within me

I fear not the life I lead

nor the death bound to come

I am presented each day

with the miracle that surrounds me.

Whether pushing the people's mail

tangling with the soft chords

of the ukulele

or smiling with the laughter

of growing grandchildren

simplicity begins

in my inner soul

spreading out

to a welcoming world.

I weave an intricate tapestry

made honest 

by wonder, joy, and love

a miracle of life

blessed to find a way

each and every day.
