Poems For Today - April 23

The Sweetness of My Life

Lately I'm a stranger to my internal, quiet place
Fear keeps me busy, and I stay on the move
But when I pause just now
And breathe into this space I create
At first I am sad, and finally the tears come
But almost in the same moment
Taken by surprise
Hiding from my busy mind
As if forgotten
I feel in my being
That deep joy that sustains me
I feel
My breath, my heart, my soul
I feel the sweetness of my life
