Poem 11 Day 11

Receiving the gift

Of waking

Sun rising upon the day

The enchantments of nights still

Linger

The ornaments of dream

slowly fade

My warmth grows from my core

with hope and adoration

But mostly gratitude

For so much suffering averted

For so much pain, already healed

My prayers are always answered

Not in my time, nor in

The specific request

But in the earnestness that flows my heart

and knows my hands

And lives in me

Giving me more insight and awareness day by day

Today, another chance to grow

in awareness,

Another day to see what is already here.

Grateful for this ordinary magic

Too easily missed

Too easily taken for granted

Today another day to mold, carve, and influence my world

With passion, with heart, and with grace

  1. Oh no, it rejected my comment…well, said that I hadn’t signed in first anyway 🤣 Attempt no 2….

    This world is so beautifully designed to build that empathy and compassion, it can be no other way but the love that built it. Great verse Ka, sharing that understanding 😀❤️🙏

    1. Thank you so much for your persistence and getting your comment through. We are currently stuck in traffic and I’m not driving so it’s the perfect time for me to reply and say that I always appreciate you adding your insights and sinking into the love that is available for us as soon as we can receive it and be it. The empathy and compassion is related firmly to our human suffering which is so real and prevalent. Big Hug, Mark!
