in dark arms of trees
sky burns her brightest candles
prayers slip through like clouds
i look up to the gathering light
which falls so evenly on
us all.
there is no holding back,
no judgement,
or hesitation.
light simply enters us.
lifts our eyes forever upward
above the fray
of our shared brokenness.
reaches down into our darkest hours,
lights more candles, hangs more glory.
every new day since the beginning of time
repeats her flood of light and hope;
"wake up, wake up
wake up to love."
a flood of light in the smallest world
of words

How grateful am I for these windows of love, for prayers to slip through and swing through the trees... and our hearts. How grateful am I for Fridays, circles, and the small words that greet us each and every one... truly a miracle. Like you Rebecca. XO

It is good to be here again, with those who hold light dear. A blessed Friday to all!

I'd like to be "above the fray" (at least occasionally), although the fray is a good enough place, I suppose, for scribbling a few haiku!
