today I stumbled
it was a day when my ego
was bruised
when I felt all but abandoned
today I forgot about Gratitude
only now
as I look back on the heavy murk
I plodded through
clinging still to my weary soul
do I see what I did
in my inability
to be open
to let Gratitude
and Beauty fill me
my heart cracked just a little
and in that moment of forgetting
I did the next best thing
I called out
to my soul-sister
she is a gem, this one
full of wonder
grace
experience
opinion
and she heard me
she really heard me
I felt heard
seen
validated
the full rich opposite of abandoned
in the deep abiding way
that a soul-sister can deliver
her words crept through the cracks
that my soul had just barely formed
before they could begin to heal over
they reached in
breathing space
dancing light
pouring Beauty into that tiny break
until it burst open
and Gratitude drenched me
thank you, soul-sister
we will speak again soon
under the watchful eye of the Infinite
plotting the release of
Beauty unstoppable
