Taking the last line in another’s poem and making it my first line in my poem. I chose Mary Oliver’s “Don’t Hesitate”…
Joy is not made to be a crumb.
Great Good is yet to come
in this life, this brief moment
between two eternities,
spent in such a fragile package.
So I yield to its power, joy,
realize it should not take all that
to simply be happy,
opening with the beautiful dawn,
breaking for me today, allowing me
to breathe and cherish life.
Went to sleep in grace,
awoke in gratitude,
a grand day awaits.
