The Shelter of Shine 
Happy New Year 

I resolve standing in the center of the Shelter

Of Shine that there shall be a revolution in this

new day. I see in the waves of wheat and ripples

of sea, in the clouds skittering above and in the

earth beneath my feet the review of all that has

gone before and turn my face dedicated to the

light – recite that recent ways are not the way -

that despair, desolation and tears falling as

thrumming drumming dismal downpours are not

the design. With a lightening heart I cast off 

each moldered strip of gravitus 
each flickered beheaded bloodied individual
each scar and scourge upon Mother Earth in all her forms 
strip these horrors one by one and see beyond
and know that even the flattest grimmest

gray shall never ultimately win –
 for there is
no contest nor competition nor conflict 

There is only what is – and what is holds and heals, 

repairs the slightest fray in the fabric of the grand

shimmering tapestry. 
for all is meant to renew 
Here on this new morn in a fresh born year
it is revealed that all that beckons the darkness

is but a  fairytale – a whirl of whispery words

I resolve standing in the regifted 
Shelter of Shine that there is a revolution of
positivity and hope soaring beyond the curtained sky

 In this New day I shall fear no more the intemperate pull 
of purloined panic – stolen from my childish terrored fears – 

for there in the waves of wheat and the ripples of

sea in the clouds skittering above, and in the very

earth beneath my feet – in the darkest unstarred

night and beneath the skudding skies of cast-over

day there is always–
bright as an infant's newly gleeful gummy grin- 
trickling under closed doors and through cracks 
in darkened corridors of place and mind 
there is 
always light. 

Safe, in the radiance that pours about us all and gathers its beams 
into a smile of benevolent certitude –

I here and now with a strong arm and calming heart

throw fear personal, and collective, into the vanishing wind 
and stand
bearing witness 

filled with hope and possibility, kindness and awe of

All connected into One –

Centered in the glimmer and sparkle

in the crystal clear air of the future

of this bright new day beginning 

I Breathe 

Again 




Happy Healthy New Year filled with Peace, Love and Light
