Journeying

Did you see it dawn this morning
when the sun arose somewhere
over the horizon all dressed up
in golden grandeur
while glint of light reflected
on dew kissed leaves?

Were you embraced by it
as you were sitting
in the days warmth
breathing deeply
of the moment?

Could you hear its voice
beckoning on the wind
through mountains breeze
as it fell softly upon your ears?

Would you reach out
and grasp it,
holding it gently enough
as to not break it;
but yet firmly enough
that it would not     fall?

Can you sense it
        coursing
with every beat of heart,
pulsing     there
in the here    and now?

Do you hold your dreams closely
when feeling the highs    and lows
of passing storms and sunny days
filled with seconds s l i p p i n g
through breaths, one at a time?

Are you      LIVING
this journey
called     life?





The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....

Brava!  Glad to have another Pollyanna on my side.  It is easy enough to fall into the gray of any day, or shiver under the cover of nightfall...wondering if the sun will rise tomorrow...

but it does...and when it doesn't, why, I'm fairly assured that we wouldn't even come to know it, things would be that bad.

Until then, *clink* cheers to you!

one truth remaining constant dear lady..

the sun will rise again....
and does.  

The greatest beauty on earth, is
found in the hearts of those
who love....
