forever is a presence

Elisa Ashley

dove out from under another wave of uncertainty surfacing, returning to steadiness of peace waking up with words in my memory

so they are and they will be forever is a presence

to be able to look on the past as a gift

to feel prepared for what matters now

to grow through being cultivated

to see where I still could have listened

beauty in what leads to now and how to choose to honor it a symphony, my Dad said, of how there came to be what is

knowing the stars of the universe represent the ones of eternity light that ever was

is and always will be

shining from ancient time aligned by force of grace

shining in the present in its ever present way

knowing that much is going to pass

except for peace and trust harmony, truth and justice purity and love and all that from above brings life to last
