I sit in the sun every morning
Light streams into my forehead
Behind my eyes a radiance
It is energy, love, and peace
I carry this gentle joy with me
Throughout the day I Am
Grateful, mindfully recalling
the exuberance that found me
struggling and in despair
reacting inanely to this world
What is true transformation?
Spiritual understanding anew
of how to live in this world
Without malice nor deviance
but with a love everlasting
and at once fierce—I will know
I am positive and take action
Doing the next right thing
Seeing the world through
my own Higher Power’s eyes
