A Brand New Day (NaPoWriMo2)

The air is crisp
cleaned by the rest of the night
while the house’s inhabitants lie sleeping.

The temperature is checked
by toes peeking out from covers
returning quickly to the warmth within.

The light filters in
around the skylight
and along the edges of drawn curtains; orange & bright.

The silence is broken
by the songs of birds outside
heralding the breaking of a new day’s sun.

The creaking of stairs
in protest of weighted steps taken
shhh! careful not to wake sleeping children.

The lighting of incense
with the flick of a bic
crackles and pops as it is lit.

The sight of smoke
rising in eddies that twirl
and waft the soft scents that plume.

The morning breaks new
and is serene in fine moments
soon the sound of children fill the quiet.

Namaste

Writing out my thoughts has helped me to gain a new perspective of myself. In sharing these writings, it is my hope to help others to better understand themselves. It is my belief that with each of us who chooses this path of greater understanding of thy self, that it inspires others to do the same. This building momentum is the force that drives me to share, for in my vulnerability, I find my strength. I believe that you can also find yours there. ~~~In reading some of my posts, you will see that growth is not always pretty. It is in breaking apart and coming undone that a seed sprouts and breaks free of its own captivity. It is also out of mud that the lotus blossoms. ~~~Please join me in seeing the beauty of growth within the deconstruction of our limiting beliefs. ~~T.C. View more posts
