A Little Bit 03/13/2021

Deeply breathing
As morning light appears
Feeling
The life force enter
My sleepy body
Once again. 

Connecting
And lifting me
Upwards
Towards a lightness of bliss
Knowing this comfortable place well
Tis’ often visited. 

As thoughts
Soften enough
My awareness greets a presence
At my heart’s
Front door
Deciding whether
To open more. 

Freedom of silence appears
Confirming and assuring
Love
Will be present in my life again
If I choose to accept it. 

Hearing words flowing to me…
“Honor and respect thyself
A must to know and understand
Kindness and tenderness
Needed to soothe an aching heart”. 

Never a dull moment in life
Thought I could control
All by myself
Until tragedy appeared
Convincing me otherwise
That I needed help. 

Learned from this experience
Balancing life
Tis’ an art form
Of gentleness.

Giving and Receiving
A little bit of love
In every situation
Allows the heart
To always lead the way
Instead of thoughts.
