Unwritten Hope 11/7/2021

Staring out the window
Looking for the wind
To take away
The sting of pain
From living
On planet earth.

Unclear of my direction
Struggling is the norm
Not happy with what is
How to find something more.

Noticing
Off in the distance
The morning sun
Making an appearance
Suddenly feeling
A rush of hope
Settle into
My weary heart.

Unplanned
And unwritten
Sunrays of warmth
Tickles my
Inner delight
As this day
Begins to enfold
In front of my eyes.

A renewed sense
Of belonging felt
While connecting
To a higher presence
Hidden within nature
Present all around.

Feeling loved
While breathing
Fresh morning air
How can this day
Begin any better
Than just now.

Willing accepted
These feelings
As a tiny miracle
Of peace and hope.

Acknowledging
This beautiful moment
May be experienced everyday
By opening
The heart and mind
To view anytime.
