A New Day

Your petal hangs

 lifeless,
fragile
waiting for me to breathe into you.

The wilderness has been trying
you wrestled with the choices
and your faith.

Awaken your desire to stand ,
to exhale
to watch the crossroads
as a challenge,
as a new day.

Watch the geese glide over
the lake
and dream that you are whole

 once again.

Grace

I drink from the silver 

Amethyst chalice

seeking communion.

The roof shelters me

while I wonder if

 the cobwebs on my soul

are seen from the heavens.

I walk along the shadows,

silence is a death sentence.

Life lingers on my lips

awakened by the sounds

and colors of poetry,

shaking my senses,

leading me home.

Grace floats unannounced,

it walks lacing her

arm into mine.

Grace never tarnished,

stands alone

on wings of hope,

failure is a lesson.

Surrender

Wash my feet

sweet ocean

to you I surrender.

Your lips soothing

like a lullaby

whispered to an infant.

Angels sing 

and poets dream.

I am awakened 

by this moment

ordinary

yet extraordinary. 

My feet anchored in the sand

seashells leave a mysterious trail.

Life is here,

connected to all that came before us

and all that remains.

I inhale,

I exhale,

I surrender. 

At  http://dversepoets.com/ Marina is asking us to write an ordinary thing in our life that would be easy to take for granted. Sometimes when I am out in the ocean I realize the grandeur of it all and how easy it is sometimes to forget to celebrate it.
