Awareness
Written By Lynne Schilling
I awoke this morning
feeling absolutely certain of something–
but of what?
Being certain, however
floated my mood above
a murky, pungent pool of despair.
Skittering toward me
like a ruby throated hummingbird circling a begonia
with fast, hopeful wings, was awareness.
In that fragile space
between fluttering and landing
anything was possible.
