dearest Friend
the night is full of stars
Bach's violin in g-minor
pulls me across space & time
like a lover across a dance floor

in this moment
i am choosing to be awake
unafraid--
grateful--
in awe of this journey
that is mine (ours)...

storms & fair weather
Life keeps breathing
God's loving pulse
through my every cell

even if i never write the book,
win the academy award,
garner a Ph.D...
guess what?

i am alive--
i am living--
i am god's child:

now & always
bright & shining
happy for every breath
every birdsong
every moment

shadows have found me
night has swallowed me
and still--
i know--

i shine
i am divine

the world is birthed anew

the love in me
is infinite & true.
