Light Green Grace
A poem by Judith Ellen Sanders
In the morning
the silence in me
the stillness in me
and the peace in me
is me
and I am the world
from stem
to branch
to leaf
to flower
I am light green
and new
The day awakens
and the quiet
of everything
holds everything for me
the air supports
the light green colors
enlight
and align
and from stem
to branch
to leaf
to flower
I dance
and fly
in the openness
free and full
in the newness
This precious gift
rests in my hands
and never
fades away
and on this day
and this one
and this one
from stem
to branch
to leaf
to flower
I am filled with grace
everyday grace
light green grace
everyday.
