A new day hovers on the precipice of the horizon
As circadian rhythms push me towards the surface
Sensed within
Thundering beneath my skin
Are the bodies wild tides
Restless or calm
As I seek to rise
Pulled by my spirit’s longing for blue skies
But even these grey mornings
Offer me a promise
There is life hovering on the edges of sleep
There is a sun in me
Rising
That longs to seek
This light
So tired of the night
Lasting too long
Life
You are the magic of being that contains me
Lovingly
Awakening longing in every cell
You hold me safe
Even as I feel the fear of old times
Inwardly quaking
As my being is shaking
When the spectre of death drew so near
How could I not fear
My body almost obliterated
But now as I wake
I forsake those ghosts
For life is calling me
As the sun rises
Even as it remains
Obscured by clouds
Urging me forward
To love
To gratitude
To life
Emerging From The Dark Night
