Hold on!
Hold on to all that
lives certainly
and wonderfully
in your life.
Hold on to the
rich nourishment of love
that feeds the spirit
and brings vitality to
the whole being.
Hold on to the good
done in the name of good
as a measure of the worth
of all beings that tread this
shifting shore together.
Hold on to the laughter
that is the lubricant of joy
and binds together
the fragments of this life
that at any time
could pull apart.
Hold on to the
way of peace
that is the soothing balm
that eases the sores of conflict
that are epidemic across
this fractured trauma
of this world.
Hold on to each moment
lived with purpose
and with gratitude,
within a sea of restless illusion
and wasting worry about
what was or what might be.
Hold on!
Hold on,
to the precious,
to the joyous,
to the loving,
to the good,
to the peaceful,
to the grateful,
and to the privilege
that it is to live
and love each day.
Hold on, but
not too tight,
for then it can
be free.
