Lotus unfolds in the fourth,
heart expands in Light -
removing remnants of pain,
Memories bled -
and drained.

Light gathers light
dissolving dark lingering emptiness -
leaving sweet fragrance
of Remembrance.

Onward and upward -
stepping out of regret
over obstacles,
some chosen some long-forgotten,
surrendering into Silence.

Unfolding hesitantly,
joyously unto the new day.

I am still now.
I am tranquil.
Light all around me

with Gratitude I wear serenity
gently -
as Dawn steps out of darkness,
awakening God-felt heart
to another day.

Spirit clothed in Joy.
