So, morning is often a time when I write. I seek to move some of my inner insights to expressions and structures of words. I seek to connect what is personal into what is more widely shared. In the poem below, the insight I’m working with is that every day is both common and uncommon at the same time. And that it takes a commitment, and often a poetic heart, to keep inviting the integration of it all.
For inspiration.
Today is common,
like most every day.
It starts
with simple beginnings.
Coffee.
A wee bit of writing.
Breath.
And then,
into the lists of things that both fill and surprise a day.
But today is also uncommon,
unlike most other days.
Renewal
has found me.
An excited mind.
A horizon brought close.
A connected heart.
And then,
into much flow that refreshes.
