As darkness fades
sunbeams breathe
Renewed by fate
destiny divides
Wrapped in white
cloaked in black
Revel in life
or die inside
Walk with joy
or crawl in pain
A line between
leaves one choice

I figured it was about time that I put my morning philosophy into a little poem.

This is one to live by each morning and I do. Life is so much easier if we choose to “Walk with joy” even if we don’t wake with joy.

Very true. 🙂
Each day I ask myself what kind of day I want to have. I always answer, “a good one” even if I don’t feel good. Life is too short to answer any other way. 🙂

It all began because I saw sunbeams poking through the clouds one morning. Inspiration is everywhere!

Thanks! 🙂 Those two lines were the last to show up, while I was writing. It’s funny how I write poetry – its never in order. As lines pop into my head, I write them on different parts of the page. It’s like the whole thing is already in my head waiting for me to transcribe it. 🙂

Thank you! 🙂 I’m a big believer that the worth of each day is entirely on our shoulders. Even a bad day has a few good moments – all we have to do is decide to see them.

My muse really wanted me to write this one . . . she kept bugging me with it until I finally wrote it down. I’m glad she’s so persistent because its one of my favorites from this year.
