Weightless but grounded
Like a feather in dirt
Softly kept freedom
Rises above the hurt
Wakeful with prayer
Salted with grace
Voice spoken words
A smile on my face
Breathing in deep
Life upon lungs
Another day opens
Where yesterday hung
Light upon shadows
Like waves upon sand
Washing away
Mistakes of my hand
Morning brings promise
An unopened gift
Carefully unwrapping
Joy takes the next shift.
