Not Today
The uncertainty of my steps
Echoes the heaviness of my spirit
The future seems like a darkening tunnel
Closing in with no end and no light
Then a stranger says "Merry Christmas"
Another lights a candle and welcomes her family
We celebrate what was and what may have been
With horns and champagne we anticipate a new year
The morning rain creates a rainbow
The air is fragrant and wet with hope
Birds stop and feed on their way to a better place
Some days I long to join them, not today
Touching thoughts on how nature's daily unfolding brings light. Nice, Roger! Happy new year. Marilyn
