Here, alone in this house
I pause to recognize:
I am surrounded by riches.
Every little thing reminds me
of some small happiness
taken for granted.
This life we have built.
These changes that have come for us -
none of them by chance.
Surrounded, still, we wait to greet what's next;
to greet whatever may arrive at our door;
the door
that we must always leave
unlocked.
