Each Day I Am Changed

Each day, I am changed by the path I take—

Step by step, as I walk this Earth with reverence,

Calling for such grace to see the beauty—

Sometimes concealed, sometimes awakening

An encounter with deeper spirit.

 

Let my vision reach out to touch the sunny hills,

Forming further today a way I have already begun

Years and years ago, unknown to me, yet tenderly

Grasping me by something I cannot grasp.

Forgive me for my blindness.

 

Let me in this very moment feel the breeze

Upon my face, smell the scent it brings,

Know its coolness even in heat of day,

Dark of night no less is present.

Quiet my anxious spirit that I may pray.

 

Though distant clouds hide the light,

Let me be patient until the veil is thin,

Perhaps to sense such light within, beyond

That gives water to dry bones.

Rain down, that I may stay green and grow.
