Do You Feel It, Too?

Do you feel it, too?
There’s something of import
in the wind. Something

bigger than we’ve known.
A reckoning. A waking.
A transformation.
-Karen Molenaar Terrell

The World Wakes

Feel the presence of Love,
surrounding, abounding,
infinite, undiluted, never-ending
Good, filling all space and thought.
Behold the light rising on a new day,
steadily filling the darkness as it comes –
irresistible, unstoppable, invincible,
unflappable.

The birds stir and sing in a new morning.
A gentle breeze filled with the fragrance
of sweet life wafts by us.
The world wakes.

The World Is Calling for Help

I’m deep in sleep
and suddenly there’s a voice
right outside my window,
insistent. “Hello? Hellooo?!”

And I wake.
But I’m on the second floor
and, unless someone’s on a ladder,
no one is right outside my window.
Someone was calling for help
in my dreams.

I’m groggy, but waking now.
The world is calling for help.
“Hello? Hellooo?!”
