My Poetry ~  Today With Bright Morning Best-Loved Poems

It's the things that you don't see that are most frightening.

Today With Bright Morning
Today with bright morning,
choose a bold word.
YOUR word
a golden light, an affirmation

form a sentence,
YOUR sentence
with joy, with heart, with spirit
gold, scarlet, pure
make it a gift to yourself and to someone else:
create...repair...transform!

YOUR word, YOUR sentence.

Take it outside, outside
find a place, your place,
you know where
open wide
go on spread your arms...stretch,
reach,
you're a hawk, an angel,
a glider divine
throw back your head.
look up
breathe
smile, maybe even laugh

Then,
proud, free, jubilant:
let go
hurl your words
out LOUD
to the sky.

Today.
