Facing Forward, Pursuing Progress
Weariness wins now
Slumber seduces me
I wake upon my couch
No longer
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Do I listen deeply
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Pulling apart
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Words, lyrics
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Melody
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Harmony
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Trying so hard
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>To embrace
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>A song’s
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Soul
Rain is now falling
Seattle reminding me
Of where I live
Into the expanse
Blue water, sky and mountains
Converge in sunlight
Saturday morning
The house is nearly silent
Dogs bark nearby
Today’s calmness comes
As lightly as these spring rains
Healing restfulness
