dear God,
so rich with human
blessings, how can i ask
You for even one more
day?
i have never fully
hugged & kissed a single
luminous moment of this
life.
grant me the
heartfulness to
embrace your lessons without
fear.
as i love
light, make me a
sunbeam;
as i love
earth, blend my
blood with the
color of the
rose.
this dying is so much
different from
sleeping.
i have never been so
awake.
