A light appeared
not long ago;
it wasn’t so much that
I found my way
out of darkness,
or found anything;
but rather that
the gift found me;
or maybe that my
emotional, mental, spiritual
thrashing in life’s deep places
slowed enough for me
to tread water calmly,
finally recognizing that
the very thing against which
I struggled was the river
in which the answers lay.
As more years, experiences pass,
I find myself, if not lighter
in gravitational mass,
better able to free-float.
Oh, the joy to find
myself floating in mercy,
the contentment in realizing
I’ve always been buoyed by love,
the peace of understanding
the eternal saturation of grace!
