The Journey

Crawling into a ball
into sleep
avoiding aloneness
the fear
that joy and love
haunt the heart
as elusive orphans
wandering.

Sleep eludes.
the heart quiets
awakening to
another reality--
sleep minus
transformation
sleep awakens
the heart
to sameness.

Shifting
slightly.
rising
greeting a smile
upon her face
outward
embracing a moment--
grace
beauty in the journey.
