Glimmers of Dust Still Dance

Finding peace in the wind

Lately I’ve had no time To spread my emotions out like a fan To let some escape on gusts of wind To hold some close within my hand

I’ve tucked them away In the busyness of days And traded joy For surviving ways

Oh how I long for those minutes away To reflect and recenter and be carried away

Lost in the busyness of details, to-do lists, and fat burning tasks Time was to be eaten, and eaten up fast

But today I watched as my children played On the porch of our new world Glimmers of dust danced in the sky And bugs like ghosts raced within light swirls

Peace came to my soul It knocked on my heart Said, let me in I’m what you need again

Said, I’m always available When you close your eyes To stop and feel the wind Letting in wonder and surprise

My emotions can be gusty They can push me all around But your winds, they wrap me In tranquility that abounds
