Wonder
Down On Your Knees Gratitude
when a loved one
.
caught in wind-whipped fire storm
.
emerges whole
To Trust and Allow
I asked for a miracle
it wasn’t granted
or so I thought
Turns out
I didn’t recognize it,
so certain was I of
how it would look
Turns out
the Universe upgraded
to a newer version
perfect for me
Turns out
I am again awestruck by
the power of trusting
and allowing
Total Eclipse of the Sun
slowly
darkness prevails
universal delight
watching shadow and light unite
briefly
