Not That Easy
written by: Lori Marchesin
To roll in the dewy grass
immersing yourself in the sea
covered in salt from head to toe
to feel part of the whole
to accept pain and share
the others’ because
a word and the touch of a hand
make the difference
when the light is off, remember happy moments
and let them enrich dreams
to stumble over obstacles we created
but raise our eyes to sparks of light
to lose our way back but persist
beyond the mistakes that obscure the horizon
because we do not have all the answers
but life is our gift
even though sometimes we forget it.
