Today, I am awake
Reminding myself how to be gentle
It’s a process, it takes time
Remembering how to co-create
Yesterday, I did not stir
I could barely even function
Perturbed, or disturbed it seemed
I never thought I would begin
In those days, all was still
Even the ghosts dare not speak
But even still, my house was warm
Every book held its own space
Back then, the thunder shook
And cracks became unglued
But slowly, a light poured in
Giving hope for what should have been
Now, the words come slowly
However they do not hesitate
To fill my aching heart with wonder
Heavily, a stone set into place
Today, I am noticing
Familiars that have always been
So much older than any tome
Faith works miracles out of sight
