Reflecting

I feel the quiet sadness sink down into me, running all the way to my toes.

In this moment of reflection I yearn for the child of my heart.

No resolution, no resolution, no resolution here.

I sigh.  I lift up my head.  I cannot stay here forever, it is only blackness.

I shift, to move away from the darkness.

I cannot fly eagle's flight, fly into the future and find ease.

I cannot either, stumble, trip over memories and fall flat on my face.

I have to find my way to - today, to this moment, to be open to the gifts this moment holds.

This moment is all I really have.

I settle into this moment.

Much more quiet now and aware, so very aware, of this moment.

This day.

This gift.
