I wrote this for all the women who battle with breast cancer or for anyone who is facing a life threatening/altering disease.

 Life Rythms

 

 

 

Life continues, taking on its destined motion

Unexpected changes redefine our flexibility

In the blink of an eye, all we were becomes something new

Our gains and our losses no longer tallied


 

Yet the tomorrow, as though it were unaware

Of our sadness or our elation

Will call upon the sun to rise at the appointed hour

And so to set quietly upon the mesa


 

The rain will surely fall, embrace it

And the drought will parch the land

The bud of each glorious rose

Will offer its petals to enrich the earth


 

It is as though through change

We imbed deeper into the fabric of this lifetime

And the glory of who we are and what we have become

Creates the new rhythms of the day


 

Ride high and mighty upon the wind

Saturate your soul with colors of rainbows

Breathe in the splendor of all that surrounds you

And celebrate that your presence here has changed everything
