Sunshine On A Cold Day
I took a walk today
watched the trees starting to bloom
and heard the birds sing
I tried to empty out all the stress
and things to do
from my mind
I walked past men working on a roof
and heard the loud sounds of a pressure washer at work
they took no notice of me
walking by
I was aware of cars driving by me
of others out for a walk
and tried to find a place
where I could be alone for a moment
quiet my mind
release the unanswered questions
of past
and regret
I tried to concentrate
on the blessings instead
the many new friends on my journey
and the simple things
like sunshine on a cold day
But this spring is taking longer
than other springs
this lesson
is taking longer to learn
than other lessons
And I’m finding
It is the smallest things
that are the biggest miracle
They are found
in the most unlikely places
and that is where true release comes
It is a step
on a never-ending journey
to lose
and yet
to find
a place of true rest
and of true peace
like sunshine on a cold day
And I believe
although I cannot feel it yet
that the chill in the air
will soon turn warm
and the sunshine
will penetrate the cold
and shine warmth down
on my face
although I cannot feel it
it is still coming
Today is like a kiss
a promise
of more
than just sunshine on a cold day
