Never Alone
Never Alone
The journey unknown
A path, with twists and turns
Forks in the road
All we can do
Is trust that we find home
Here, we can roam
Where are you, comfort?
Is that you, safety?
I can sense you, solace
Beneath the veil
Of overwhelm
I see your familiar face
Through a subtle embrace
If we are blessed
- And, we are
If we hold space
- And we can
For ourselves and each other
Never alone
Dare to look up and around
To find
We are in harmony
We are one
It is hard, so hard
Often, sometimes, always
Range of emotions
Like colors in the galaxy
Sweep in like a breeze
Or hit us like a truck
With no notice
And lack of focus
Stand tall, stand grounded
On shaky legs or solid feet
Like the oak and the willow
Close your eyes and face the sky
Feel the light
Pulsate through you
With knowing from beyond
Comes the message from above
We are in harmony
We are one

This is a piece I wrote earlier this [long] winter. It reflects my emotions about light in times of darkness, and how we can all use a gentle reminder to "look up". Sometimes when we feel alone, it's easy to forget that others walk a similar path - often beside us.
