UNEXPECTED HUMBLE DAWNS  (1-4-07, after watching DVD movie 'About Schmidt', Galveston, Texas)

when all
the secret
sadness
hidden
buried
in your
heart
all the
pent up
anger
failure
pain and
grievous loss
fills you
up beyond
all measure
exacts its
heavy cost
completely
overwhelms
you
when youve
finally
had enough
when all
looks hopeless
in your
life
when
everything
feels lost
when it
seems theres
no solution
or no
way out
at all
something
small or
very simple
may suddenly
occur
or come
to you
when you
least
expect it
but when
it does
you will
know it
for it
will touch
and open
you
will put
your life
back in
perspective
fill your
lonely heart
with peace
and love
dissolve your
deepest fears
and worries
all away
as it
gently
humbles you
back towards
acceptance
gratitude
and simple
hope of
living life
more fully
of loving
life again
