awakening

what do i know
this moment rising
from a dream still swimming
behind eyelids
i keep closed

awareness weaves itself
the shuttle/my breath
pulse stretching throat
to speech

this my sunrise

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?
