And I'll Say
Each day I awaken, here,
In the village of Lake Nebagamon,
Is a new birthplace,
In a new state of grace,
A renewed opportunity
To review my awakening existence
Shining in a new light,
In a new time,
In a new life.
It's a new moment,
In which to choose who I might become,
When all of me is written and done
But none of me has yet begun
To fathom the breadth of my destiny,
When my days have winnowed down to one,
That last one,
And the abiding spirit
Of the great ancient living force,
Which creates and takes away
Everything inside and outside nature,
Beckons, gestures to me,
Asking if I still need it to awaken me,
Stay, to illuminate my soul . . .
And I'll say, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"
