Sacred

Waking again to  mystery and wonder
Sunshine through window
Old body not yet worn through
Bits of memory
Fragments of dreams
Routines as glue
Holding me
I pray
Another day
I've forfeited life
Yet wake undeserving
Blessed  I know not how
Seeking stories of meaning
Join with others in  speculation
And laugh in gratitude
I am just a guest
Sacred.

What a beautiful poem. Work of a master. So humble and so true.
