today the 6 a.m. sunlight woke me up
i turned my head and closed my eyes
but i felt it wrong to betray a sunrise
and so the light reached me
warming, waking, shining
i suppose it was the perfect timing
i had planned on sleeping
but i put my feet on the floor
and asked you for more
and so you complied
awaking me each day
showing me there's a different way
oh you say today is today
another chance to try
to dance to love to fly
and now i thank the 6 a.m sunlight
for you have set me free
in this moment of recovery

just needed to say hello. i saw the reference to your blog on tapestry's website. i can't remember the last time i've been so moved by poetry. perhaps it's the shared suffering as well as the struggle to overcome it with gratitude.
and to think, the only reason i was compelled to check it out in the first place was the "shalom!"
