Here. Now. {Poetry}

By Jamie Burgess

I sit here tonight,

my heart full of

gratitude.

A certainty so deep within me,

I feel it aching in my bones.

This life

is a gift,

an opportunity-

to be Love

embodied,

to be Divinity

in flesh,

to be a Prayer

with feet.

I breathe a gentle

“Thank you”

with each and every heartbeat.

Thankful

for their unwavering devotion

in expressing my heart’s anthem,

its beautiful and steady song,

“I am. I am.”

Born of stardust

and moonlight,

containing oceans

and lightning,

I was created for this.

Here.

Now.
