Tiny Gratitude HAWMC Day 5 (April, 2012)

June 12, 2012 by paula Leave a Comment

I am bound to you;

You are my friend.

I am your lost;

You are my found.

**********************

 Journey, suffering –

Does not matter.

My rest – your shelter,

Our entanglement resides.

**********************

 My black to your creases;

Bold colors to your bleak land.

My solace – your support;

My friend, my dear hand.

***********************

 This little bird tugged at my heart the first moment I found his picture. I feel such emotion for him; it appears that his find is all that matters in the world.

 The initial feeling is one of sadness, but my worry for the bird is heavy and deeper; it reminds me of all the suffering of the innocent and helpless. It is something I carry, subconsciously, every day – worry, darkness, fear.

Sometimes I am that bird: helpless, searching, alone.

This image also soothes me: The gracious relief is superimposed onto the dark and uncertain beneath it; it is comfort in the midst of the uncomfortable.
