More to Life

Sometimes 

we look over our lives 

and wonder 

if there isn’t more 

We often see our days as ordinary 

mundane and bogged down 

in the morass of routine 

We catch ourselves 

staring toward the horizon 

and wondering

Yes 

there are seasons  

when we stand 

on the brink 

of magnificent change 

when the world 

feels ready to burst open 

when the dam 

is straining at its seams  

when we are moments away  

from being swept 

into a grand new tomorrow 

Still 

we peer into the future 

and wonder if there is more

We must not lose sight of today 

in our search for tomorrow 

In our relentless pursuit 

of the brighter horizon 

we dance with the danger 

of losing sight 

of the treasures 

folded into this moment  

Embrace the hush 

of beauty in small things 

Hold on to the wonder 

woven through daily life 

Cherish the laughter 

that clings to kitchen walls 

Honor the rebellion  

in wildflowers pushing 

through cracked concrete 

Inhale the scent 

of rain rising 

from thirsty earth 

Receive the kindness

of random strangers

Bask in the love

of family  

of friends 

Look for more 

but understand that 

sometimes 

more 

is simply more 

of the beauty of today

Hold fast 

to the trueness of love
