I begin with Grace.
To remember in this moment
What I am grateful for
Because the moment
Before Grace
Was somehow
Darker
Without
It.
When I sit
With
The Darkness
Consciousness
Slips away…
I spend
My consciousness
With two coins
To the Ferry Man
& slip into
The river of
Dreams
Fitfully.
But…
When I return
To my body
& the world
To face it
& deal with
It
With Grace,
Awareness
Returns.
Grace gives
Light…
Lightness of heart
Of spirit
Hope returns
Gratitude floods
The heart
Tears of joy
Wet the face
Dance fills the
Feet
Music floods
The soul
Angels sing.
Tides
Ebb & flow.
The world
Is brighter
All because
I decided
To remember
In this
Dark moment
To be grateful
For what
I have.
Rather than
To drown
In what
I have not,
I have
Saved
Myself.
