Looking Back at 39
Here at the glint
of my dream's unfolding
Placing the final pieces so deliberately
As this time I want to
experience the full crescendo
And savor the fruits of my labor
With those whom I love.
Life thus far has been magnificent
the greatest of fears, slain
Wisdom gleaned from
attuning to the hush of nothingness,
a Peace of stillness near
to me it has been proven many a time
That this Universe is a place
of both infinite miracles and tough love
ever ready to take us into its arms
and guide us, dutifully like a child
through the audacity of our sorrows
to stand reborn
in the untouched light of a new day
This year I have learned
not to despair
for not getting everything
I want
But to rejoice in the fact that I’m
receiving exactly what
I need.
