A Blessing for This Time

​The setting sun put her hand on her hip
and spoke with great sass to the clouds.
She said, “I’ve had about enough of you.  This grey
party is over.  Scram!”
 
The clouds
stomped their little feet, huffed and puffed for a time,
but then quietly moved along.
As they did, the sky gave way to darkness and
the marvelous moon rising over the sleepy mountains brought
joy back to the sky.
His moonbeams cast comfort
over the valley houses
where worries, also, fell away from
the people who lived there.
 
Sometimes,
we have to be strong.
Sometimes,
we have to show some sass.
And sometimes,
we are blessed to just lean back
in the glory of what
has finally come
and rest our heads,
rest our hearts,
in the holy light of peace and love.
 
For Mom and Dad
With great love,
