Sitting in this crowded room
Couples chatting,
people waiting impatiently,
others working,
some reading
You are here
but how many can feel you?
You’re in the sun streaming through the windows –
how many are noticing you?
You’re in the smile of the man telling a story –
how many recognize you?
You are my secret
I want to tell everyone
But they couldn’t comprehend
And so I watch
and smile.
Do you know how it feels to have the sun kiss your skin on a winter’s day?
Have you danced and laughed in the misty rain?
Have you relished the laugh of a small child, pure and true?
Have you held the hand of a friend as they grieved?
Have you been moved to tears by a beautiful
sunrise
sunset
rainbow?
by music
art
compassion
love?
Have you been alive and seen the world?
Then you have known God.
I feel you radiate from my smile
I imagine anyone who looks at me can see your glow
Is this the same glow that comes with pregnancy –
you, showing your miracle within a woman’s body?
My vision is clear
My mood is uplifted
I naturally send love to all I see
Thank you for filling me
Thank you for lighting my soul
Thank you for gifting me with your presence
Thank you for allowing me to share you with the world
even if they don’t know from whence the joy comes
