Understanding
the hardest things in life
are the things
worth saying
In the stillness
of the midnight
As I reach for
the moon and the stars
Collecting my
blessings
I realize each
blessing is a memory
of a selection
of images
I am grateful
for…
Knowing these
images protect me
like a soft
autumn night glow
On these autumn
nights when the wind is
against my back
Hearing every
drumbeat of my heart
I appreciate my
heart is my compass
I am grateful
for…
Realizing some
nights can be unremarkable
While searching
for
the light that
shields my shadow
Before I see the
light
I realize my
shadow cannot exist
without the
light
I must permit my
heart to allow
the light to
shine
I am grateful
for…
Watching the night
rain descend
Seeing the dawn
mounting
As I observe the
beautiful sun rising
from every
mountaintop
I am grateful
and happy to see
Above it all
“The Fire Inside
Still Burns”
