The sun tucked away
in glorious rose, violet, blues and greys.
It spoke of promises yet to be made.
As it drifted away. Sleep would come
to some. In the morning we would wake
to find the sun creeping up in golden shades.
Wake we must. Today we trust in what our world will create.
Washing us from sleep filled haze to a brighter, golden day.
The sun emerging
From behind the cloud
Casting light on us now.
Brought into this world.
Sparkling and brand new.
You needed no one,
but we needed you.
Your kind soul.
Your laugh and generosity.
Your quiet loud presence.
You often remind me
life is more pleasurable if we stop to play,
and we can continue to be lighthearted as we go about our day.
It always was this peaceful.
Quiet and calm.
It always was this perfect imperfect.
Knowing and known.
It always was a quiet depth.
Spoken of our fears.
Never was it harmful.
It always was our choice
to choose.
Love was always here.
sparkling bright and brilliant
the beams of heaven shone
brilliant gold and radiant
upon the only throne
which sat a saintly being
pointed ears
twitching tail
purring merrily
until the one who usually sat
came upon this being
the one was laughing quite heartily
the cat was lifted in the air
placed gently on the lap
of the one who sat there
She was raised on sunshine, rainbows, and moonbeams.
Hearts full of wonder, she left to find her dreams.
The road was paved in many things, from gold, to stardust, to dirt.
She found it all enchanting.
Enlivened by the breadth of life.
Her love had shone on and on, until the last had come.
She layed her head upon the earth and spoke that she was done.
The flowers rose around her.
The bird sang heartily.
Animals and fairies stopped to have their say.
She quietly received them.
Smiling as they say,
how much her very life had brought sunshine to their day.
The heart is playing peek-a-boo
with our sight today.
Can we see beyond what our eyes have to say?
Can we see the sunrise for its quiet, waken breath?
Can we see the moonrise for its shining, shimmering ascent?
Can we see the bird song, the breath the grasses breathe?
Our heart has opened up today.
Can we truly see?
You walked, pranced, beside me.
Climbing the rainbow bridge.
One last goodbye, we spoke.
Before you passed through the gates.
Holy light. Glowing from beyond the golden structures.
So bright it should hurt the eyes.
Soothing in it’s shine.
With love and fullness I turn around.
Walking slowly toward the ground.
You are tucked away with God.
I am here. On earth. Still.
Until the time comes to walk another forward.
The journey is ever evolving.
I am here to play my part.
With heartfelt gratitude,
I say thank you
to the workers who are still going to work.
Thank you to the teachers who are teaching our kids.
Thank you to the retail workers who still are essential.
Thank you to the rescue workers who always keep us safe.
Thank you to the mailpersons, delivery drivers, and parcel handlers.
You are keeping us connected.
Thank you to the tech people who keep this internet up and running.
Thank you to the earth for continuing to spin.
Thank you. Each and everyone of you who are doing your best to get through this.
With heartfelt gratitude, I say thank you to all.
May you all receive love, blessings, and joy throughout your day. 💕 Carrie
“What are you grateful for? ”
Squinting slightly, “My grateful four?”
Hmmm….
“If I had four to choose from:
God’s love.
Children’s laughter.
Nature.
Love.”
Grateful Four
encompasses more.
“What are you grateful for?”
