sometimes when we forget
the reason that we are walking,
and what path we're on...
when one star looks like another,
in the darkest of skies.
when each board in the bridge,
seems just another cross to carry.
when we look behind us,
and there are no footprints
in the sand.
...when the prayer we prayed,
keeps haunting sleepless nights.
when after we've given our all,
we find we have something left to lose.
when we light the lantern,
and still it seems no one is near.
when we lay it all down in final sleep,
and birth calls yet again.
when our every ounce of being,
doesnt fill the bottom of the cup....
and the song in our heart,
doesnt fill the stillness.
then from somewhere beside us,
a familiar voice speaks...
'simply, thank you'.
and it is more than enough!
