Peaceful Pondering

Pausing on the edge of tomorrow
I allow night’s shades
to clothe me in cool comfort.

Today definitely disappeared
as quickly as it was born
with infantile endeavours
adolescent fears
adult achievement
and maturing marvels.

Soulfully searching
through the silent seconds,
I see God
driving with me through terrible traffic
climbing up and down stairs
listening silently
to myriad conversations
staccato and legato
smiling sweetly
at small surprises,

Inspired by
the generous Almighty
I smile in return
grateful for a gracious God
faithful and forgiving
as the clock happily
tick tocks the time away.

Truly touched by the potter
earthen vessel that I am
I gently inhale the spirit of love
and exhale the toxins of the day
watching
the kaleidoscope of life
flash by in colours deep and dark
slipping into
the box of memories
wrapped with the ribbon of wonder.
