MOMENT OF SILENCE

i breathe in this second
to exhale to the past
this moment i live
not my first...not my last

i open my eyes
to see how far i've gone
close them to dream
of what’s left to come

i look at my fingers
my blessings i count
they surpass tribulations
by an amazing amount

i go in to my heart
to find that it’s whole
despite times of emotional
overload

i take awe in the day
how simplistic it is
it’s perfect...its mine
yes...mine it ‘tis

i speak with my soul
and not with my mind
“i’m in love with my world”
are the words that i find

a moment of silence
realigns my way
this moment of silence
as my prayer each new day
