Yesterday there was the most gorgeous sunrise. As I gazed out of the window I felt compelled to get out as soon as possible to experience the light and as I did my poem already began writing itself. Nature never fails to inspire.

Morning Gift

My heart’s expanding like the rising shine before my eyes

I’m moved to see the magic of this early year sunrise

I feel a sense of levity much needed in the world

Our time here is but brevity let’s smile as it unfurls

Don’t have to wait for moment’s right, for we all go off kilter

Sometimes the light, just as it is, is right, no need to edit

I’m ever open to the signs, each day brings fresh surprise

My heart’s expanding like the rising shine before my eyes
