Resilience
Our resilience takes my breath away.
It stands intimately entwined
with our terrible translucent fragility.
We are soft and small,
brief and biodegradable.
And yet, we sometimes flare
like a match ignited in darkness
Illuminating the moment, revealing
the truth we know but cannot explain:
How we are sustained
By the scent of another’s sun-salted skin,
the soft brush of lips on the nape of the neck.
By the blazing dawn- a promise searing the sky,
the loon’s lonely wail at the end of the day.
How we are sustained
By what we love
By that which Loves us.

BEAUTIFUL! And sometimes don’t we find ourselves wondering just where we find the energy both mentally and physically to keep moving forward. Truly by the Grace of God!
