My 6:30 a.m. Mind

June 3, 2014 | MichelleMarie

Look at this
Words cannot articulate
what I feel welling up
on the inside of me
How could this be that I
witness such beauty
each day
I am renewed with the thought
I am loved, I am found, I am whole
I lack nothing at this moment
Look at this
Words cannot articulate

My 5:30 a.m. mind

June 3, 2014February 12, 2019 | MichelleMarie

My thoughts wake up way before I do
I have often wondered why they never sleep
There isn’t a time, if I am conscious
that thoughts are not racing,
forming, zooming or creating
in my mind
5:30 a.m. I wake with the alarm
already my mind plans my outfit
stumbling into the kitchen
to make my latte;
I think of the sun and is it awake yet
like my mind?
There it is just above the horizon
I’m shocked because it seems to never sleep
It doesn’t sleep does it?
Then I think, how cool is that
The sun never sleeps
Somehow that brings peace to my mind
Knowing that while it is absent from me
It is present with you
When it is absent from you
It is present with me
It is 6:30 a.m., I’m dressed and shooting photos
My mind is still as I gaze at you Sun
You are such a huge part of my life
I thank God for you today

Show me the way

I think she was pointing to
Show me the way
I can’t really be certain
but she seemed just to say
Over there in the meadow
just down from the path
You’ll find it just follow
she told me like that
then I glance toward her jester
as I followed the wind
this gigantic rainbow
I tell you again
It stretched from the meadow
and over the land
it settled above
the pond where I mend
Thank you my sweet wildflower
You show me the way
Where my soul gathers meaning
It does everyday
Show me the way dear sweet Wildflower
