You Know You’ve Got It Going On
When Love writes a poem,
and the sun floats delightedly into that clean
blue sky, smiles and points out the ironies
that make you laugh
at yourself for being so wrong
about the many things you thought you were so right about,
When Gratitude writes a prayer
from the blessings of the present moment,
When Forgiveness releases you
from that prison of shame and resentment,
When Truth has the courage to reveal itself
creating safety for itself in others,
When Grief expresses the depths of its own Compassion
for people, things and events,
the soul sighs
and old wounds heal,
When Loneliness reminds you again
of your longing to connect
to the spirit
within all forms,
and the essence of others,
When Laughter lifts you out
of the seriousness
you mistake for being grown up,
the child somersaults within you
and your grocery cart becomes
a roller coaster..
You know you've got it going on!
