This moment of my life
gives me introspection
and pause.
A pause long enough
to lie in bed some mornings
and awaken slowly with gratitude.
Gratitude extended from the night before
when the thoughts transferred
to paper so that sleep rejuvenates
instead of depletes.

This moment of my life gives me
one more time to get it right
one more time to let it go
one more time to see clearly
even if my eyes are closed.

What I love is simplicity
in this moment
of my life.
