The day awoke gray.
Quietly it took its place,
like leaves sometimes do
when changing their hues.
When brown they linger,
a bit, then brittly fall.
Then cold, wind,
rain and snow appear,
beating repeatedly
the grooves on their back,
till suddenly, it feels,
they awake from the slumber
growing green and full,
once again, like a smile
that appears on our lips
before any thought.
As life, we live in both directions
And the great one knows
that days that feel bad, give us experience
and the worst ever yet, give us lessons
that will repeat, until we learn.
And happy days bring solutions
and sunshine so bright
it takes our breath away,
and gives us hope.
And the best, give memories
to make us whole, till the end
of time.
And in the middle of all
the forward, backward, forward, backward
—despite the life lived in the past—
the day called today,
that shapes our tomorrow,
is often rushed and taken over
by others with their own busy plans.
Yet, if we listen closely,
the Great Spirit beckons us
to become slow,
to develop clarity, perspective
For what appears
as a hampster wheel—
forward, backward, forward, backward
—can bring change, more sunshine,
and memories that make us whole.
For peace moves
purposefully and gently.
And so can we.
