One Small Moment
The overcast skies with little thunder Rain interspersed with the sand The early blooms confused by Michigan March Less snow all season long Than we used to see in a month An early morning visit to the doctor Hoping for back alignment A symbol when life itself seems Disjointed from so many attentions And Dreams of years long gone Hope slips in like the sun Through the clouds outside After rests between the tasks Which daily adjust to the souls That wander into shared space Looking for an omen of purpose An inkling of direction amidst Their own inner storms And grateful for a hearing ear A soft word of comfort peace That opens the universe anew With salve to heal old scars The eyes alight and glimmering For paths hitherto not walked Revealed in a moment of grace Dream Flat Tires - Joni Mitchell.
