The second I woke
The second I woke I felt God
Reasuring me I was not in the deluge of fear
But here
Awkwardly near like a child's morning screams yet perfectly close to all I know.
And so it is, he might have said
And so it is.
And it was that I am calm and so serene that... could he have woken me as soft ten thousand times before, from the dreams of life.
That I couldn't leave for their beauty or laberynth.
What would you ask of me? He might declare.
A simple drink, a bowl, a morsel to fill me, or something more. Something greater. Something greatest. Something togetherness.
And I complete, breathed in, with the thought of life on my brow.
Somehow I knew, today I would change something into good.
And should, with my strength.
With my will and intent entwined and ready to go.
And so it is.
And so it is.
