See through the glass.
Feel the imprint
of soft, morning Sun
pressing into your flesh.
Welcome to the morning.
Joy should be your anchor
and today should find you,
heal you,
hold you,
lift you up.
Remember what it’s like
to smile.
The lines of worry
rise right off your face.
In the day,
you’re really coming around.
I can tell,
your eyes seem clearer, now.
Almost like you could forget
last night’s
fear,
and sadness,
and loneliness.
Look at the birds
in the sky.
The trees,
how they wave.
How the wind
sings songs,
and know
that you
are part of all of this.
I see the Sun
touch your eyes
and light up your smile,
and you’re beautiful
in the morning’s light.
You are alive.
