Below is a poem I’m sharing about real, raw life. I appreciate it all. Whatever “is” in life is the base from which we thrive.
Even during challenging times, I’m aware that a lighter side is coming. If I stay aware and open and willing, instead of fearing the plunge down deep, I’m able to surrender and take the ride.
I appreciate it because I know what’s coming…eventually. I trust the process and feel my way through. Each step of the way, I feel lighter and lighter.
The below poem is a whimsical array of words to describe the possibility that is always there when we embrace “what is” and choose to “be” with it all. Enjoy the ride!
Giggles and Delight
appreciation for soft breezes
and hurricanes
the silent winds of change
the unexpected pains
friends of every age
and those who go away
love lost and found
eyes bare the truth
comfy cozy moments
for us to snuggle through
looking and searching
and when I stop
and be
all around I’m amazed to see
giggles and delight
appreciation for the sun’s warmth
and the high mountain climbs
little baby feet
and the challenge of defeat
fair weather friends
and those who never leave
Why is happiness so fleetingly random?
Why does wanting certainty leave me abandoned?
Riding high on the tight rope is nearing the end
I’m hopping off now, but where to begin?
So I stop and allow
all that is
to swirl around
I focus on the light
Feeling the surrounding mist
like elves emerging with surprising gifts
the wonderment of the sun
and the moon and stars alike
basking me with a magnitude
of giggles and delight
