A Little Bit of Sunshine

I spend a lot of time contemplating spiritual contemplation God, I like when I can hear your thoughts As clearly as my own I like when I'm content, giddy and warm in your arms I like to smile and shoot rainbows  out of my eyes. And dance a little dance with my shoes. I like to give tiny nods of encouragement Make sassy observations and quips I like to laugh.  I like when I am filled and fulfilled I like when I'm creative and hard at work When I'm too busy to worry  About being seen or judged I like to dress up pretty, But not so pretty that I can't belly laugh without tearing a seam I like to help people with their dreams. I prefer to listen in group settings  And shine in intimacy I love steaming cups of coffee And black forest cake with fresh cream I like to make little notes about everything I've seen I like daring to hope and daring to dream I like to be of service Helpful, and worthy I like to get my hands dirty And get in the mix of things I like to dive into ...

“When this is done, I will go to the king,  even though it is against the law.  And if I perish, I perish." – Esther 4:16 My life has been an endless series of kicking down death's door Of swallowing mouthfuls of pain And asking for more Of dizzying heights and tearful goodbyes Beloved ruins and empty delights Time and time again  I have defied death With a broken heart  and scattered breath I jumped off a ledge with nothing To cushion my fall And I will do it all over again... For nothing purposeful  has ever been easy
