About this morning…
About this morning…
Beneath a sea of bubbling
black licorice,
my ‘soles’ have walked.
Majestic stars, like diamonds,
splashed in the seamless ocean
flow above my head.
What was different about
this morning?
Twenty four hours earlier,
my body lay still on a table.
Overhead, it certainly was
not the Milky Way.
I was in a galaxy of wondrous
beings who brought ‘balm’
to my eye.
The first phase of healing—
a picture taken.
The second phase, I beheld the
crushing pieces of matter that
would no longer obscure my vision.
The third, and final phase,
the placement of a lens
delicately woven in by
the Physician’s Hands…
and a tender unknowing hand took mine.
I trusted all was well!
When I woke,
a sense of wonder ‘held’ me.
An unknowing fanned over
me, and a calmness pursued
as I lifted my eye’s lid—LOOKING!
What I sought as I
gazed was uncertain.
When I stepped into
the visible sunlight remaining in the day…
something changed!
Just what…no words could form
the anticipation brewing within.
I slept well,
and as always, the moon beamed through my
window luring me to rise.
I took my first
step and held my place.
Pausing, I lifted my head, tipping itself
like a pitcher pouring itself from
the opposite direction…Upward!
My eye bore witness to the stars
like SEEING them
a first time.
One by one they sparkled.
I began to count them, to name them
aloud…
so many, too many to add!
I wished to hold this encounter forever…
Mindful of many who have
moved on from this world
as I know it.
So often
I feel them keeping watch over me.
Lit candles
ignited in the sky.
Now, about this morning…
I am SEEING more clearly.
Are the stars more numerous than our descendants?
I have read somewhere this is so…
Perhaps, each one visible
and invisible to my watchful OPENED eye.
A Sacred Ancestor
invites me now to slowly
bow my head with thanks!
About this morning…I SEE!
