If

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
                 Merry BE
                   Let's CELEBRATE Together this Wholly GOOD Year
                               Reach Out
                                 TOUCH One Another
                                     Happy New Year
                                               AHO!
 Cara Anam
 John Shumaker
 January Twelfth,
 Two Thousand and Eleven
       AHO!
