Day 187: The Power of Acceptance

28 Feb 2010 1 Comment

Oh — the Power of Acceptance.

In such moments of discontent,

Sorrow, anger, a vicious torment.

I cried; I raged– I was bird caged.

I faught myself in the war I waged.

Then in such moments of easing grace,

A weight lifted in my heart’s space.

I wondered; I worried — A life hurried.

Light of True Self truly buried.

Not til I stopped did I hear the sound,

One hundred hopes pounding aloud.

In these moments of love and fear,

I found acceptance in the moment here.

Not in tomorrow or in days past,

In the joy of the moment, which does always last.
