I sit on the porch steps, the early morning sun
bathing my face, bringing light, Vitamin D,
hope and levity to my spirit.
The cool air is sweet breath on my tired skin;
refreshing, calming, healing.
The crickets' and birds' dawn-breaking song mixes
with traffic in an early morning symphony.
Hope bubbles up inside; joy and gratitude to be
in this very moment with myself, the Universe.
I am alive; my spirit is free to soar
or to rest as the need arises.
Today I will smile, I will cry in equal measure,
and each time the brightness in my eye will be Love.
