Waking Up
Let our eyes open to the freshness of the morning
tendered only by a small thought of being simple
as we gather in where we have been
in the stories that have traveled us
to far corners of the nightly mysteries.
Behoove us to be gentle to ourselves
as the world brings strong demands
and expectations that imagine us to be
mightier than we are.
We are small in the face of deep lives
We strive to stay in place as heavy winds
pile challenge to every step and turn.
Imagine in us where we have hardly known
the frequencies of ancient rhythms
where each has its own moment
our lives twirl with uniqueness
and fall head first into single steps
leading to where we are to try.
Up ahead lies the majesty of the sacred spaces
where we are to partner with that
which brings life
captivated by the passion to be
wholly balanced by the circles
and dead ends of all efforts.
May today be known slowly
with the courage of gracefulness
as we greet the wild and the forsaken,
the changes and the strangeness,
even that which pushes us away.
