I HAVE BEEN FILLED UP

I have faith in what I write
The lake’s waves are my time measures
I line myself up in accordance
They are steady
Every day, every day
They have purpose
I think of the water
I drink the water
I think of all that might be
Love in the water
Miracles in the water
Gifts of grace in the water
It fills me up
My cup overflows
 
I take the seasons
I write to the seasons
Seeing beauty in each day
In each hour of the day
Beauty is there
It is a gift
We must sometimes look for it
As the sun goes down on a cloudy day
There is a little light in the west
Below the dark clouds
This is the only light
So wonderful to see
It lifts my spirits
 
I love the world
The presentations of each season
When right I will walk the forest
See the flowers and condition
The forest will know me
Know my sense of love for life
I have no fear of death
But I love life
After this world is over for me
The world will know I loved for it
It was a gift of my birth
I have emptied myself
Now I am filled
