To Be Within

Joy E Gant-Denmark

To Be within the stillness
To be within and feel compassion
To allow your Soul an Spirit to be
To awaken and unfold we not me
One moment one day at a time
One breath, One love here an now.
Distances meaningless...Love is.
Welcome Love Welcome laughter
Allowing love in after all the pain.
Returning to who we are what a joy.
Begin with the present and allow.
Past and Future offer no relief.
Only the present moment is the gift.
May we realize the present
Embrace its wonder and awe
So be it amen.
