If
a poem by John Shumaker
if in the chronicles of time
we step beyond the temporal
if we walk with a sad lonely heart
if we FEEL that which cannot keep us apart
if we go down lonely street many days of our lives
if that true part of us remains hidden from everyday eyes
if we are alone and know not what way to turn
if we still the constant storms within us that want to tear us apart
if we find some respite from the ceaseless daily storm trying to ice our within
if we now take a breath and ask what's it all about
if we stop to notice our daily breath we've ACCOMPLISHED something
if we've noticed our breath we can begin to notice other things
if we STOP and realize this is the Beginning of SOMEthing
then we can clearly see this is our BIRTHDay
a New Day
a New Years Day
We know not what to ask for
nor where to ask for it
Be we do KNOW to ask
THIS is a BEGINNING
Look UP
This is a New Day
a BIRTHDay
CELEBRATE
THIS!!!
Dear Friend
BREATH
CELEBRATE
the Wholeness
and Holiness
of This
NOW
The Rest will be added unto You
If this IS
THIS is the IS
that IS
and we're mighty grateful
to grasp it
to breathe it
to see it
to BE IT
We are the Truth that will not hide
we are the Turning of the tide
we are the keepers of the Flame
we are the Carriers of the Dream Wheel
Be WELL
Dear Friend
