Waking Up

Waking up
to this precious thing
called life.

Opening
to the miracle
of today.

Beginning
in new ways
to find my way home

to myself
to eternity
and to love.

Blinking, adjusting
my eyes to the bright light
struggling to see

The friend
right there in front of me
smiling

The adventure
there before us
in unknown opportunity

Put on your shoes
let's go
it's time.
