Thank you for this

Thank you for this

Gift of radiant light

Found deep within

After shattering shards of anxiety

Fractured me

Opening spaces deep inside

Of restless dreaming

Thank you for this

Energy to pursue life

After having slept so long

Weighted down

Held prisoner

In the arms of death.

Thank you for this

Words of wisdom from the wise

Poets and poetesses whose eloquences reveal

They have cried

So many tears too

Mining suffering deep

While finally

Witnessing its hold

Blown away

Fragments of loss

Scattered by the breeze

Floating like leaves

Downstream

On the river of grief

Thank you for this

These ones whose courage

And wisdom

And commitment to truth

Has the power to unblock the flow

And allow it to carry love

Like wild fire

Diamonds of light

Scattering them all around me here

Where they lay

Finally and fully revealed

Ripe for the picking
