Walking Grace to Grace

Dawn arrives with blue on gray

The quiet moves in whispered exit

Sun rises in orange to pink

Surprise of yellow breaks out

Breath clouds and leads the way

Creating a rhythm, pace and timing

Setting a flow for the newborn day

Walking grace to grace

Fresh start rises in the sky                              

Trilling song greets the beginning                        

New dawn for heart and mind                      

Opportunity flows anew                                      

Fresh scent of morning crisp

Drawn in deep, expanding

Clear the senses, fill the lungs

Calm the mind, open the eye

Others slowly join the journey

Tails wag, smiles returned

Footsteps crunch the gravel path

Walking grace to grace

The gift wrap is unfolding

Revealing the possible ahead

Like the long life travelled

Giving crow's feet to the soul

With alms along the way

I’ve journeyed this road before

Leisure, labor, purpose

As I walk from grace to grace

Bit by bit, that’s all she wrote…
