to wake up with a smile in your heart
is a blessing
that is all to easily
being taken for granted
the stars withdraw silently in favour of the sun
and there is not a single cloud on the horizon
even if the body aches
from the heaviness of yesterday
the mind seems eager to believe
that heaviness will never again
be able to catch up on you
and yet
experience tells us
that the cycle of the moon
the cycle of seasons
the great wheel of life and death
shall bring us through darkness again
and again
and that this too
is a blessing
