I dared a glance upward, above
a grey overcast world.
Then, with a sudden unexpectedness,
the clouds parted, like
the opening of an old envelope.
The sun, looking like a great eye,
peered in upon me, with such warmth and beauty,
I felt as if I were a love letter
being taken out of my shell
to be read by God, again.
I had nearly forgotten
how good it felt to be alive,
reading the words of love
written upon my heart -
Thank God for such moments! May countless more follow, Smoky. If you don't know it, check out e.e. cummings' sonnet that begins, 'i thank you, God, for most this amazing day'. -Glen
