Rise

©CV, 2017

Shall I rise

like the phoenix-

Reborn from the ashes

of life's struggles and uncertainties?

Shall I rise

like the sun-

Vigilant in its pursuit

of morning's hopes and dreams?

Shall I rise

like a creative spirit-

Soaring on wings of words,

crossing boundaries and connecting? 

I Shall Rise 

with the Supreme Voice

guiding my journey

in search of hope, destiny, and joy unlimited.

Thank you Leigh Anne Eck for sharing your one word, RISE. It will remind me to life my voice in thanksgiving despite any challenges that come my way. 

I offer my digital word cloud and poem of morning thoughts to the writers of the 2017 Spiritual Journey first Thursday, created by Irene Latham and hosted by Leigh Ann today.

As a community of writers, let's all rise up today

and see the world with new eyes!
