A Reminder

6/11/2020

Sometimes I wake up with my heart
already full of uninvited feelings:
blind rage, rank despair.


Sometimes I look into the mirror
through a blur of grief
and hardly recognize myself.


But outside in the garden
I find a morning glory blossom,
tender and fresh as the new day,
and a young boy walking past the house
on his way to day camp down the street
is singing.


Then I remind myself that
there are beautiful things
in this broken world.


You won't be here forever.
Love what you can.
