Seeking

There is no denying
It exists in every
Corner of our world
Brokenness
Most days, it lives
In my periphery
On the news
Down the street
Other days
It parks itself right
In the center of my heart-
The same is true of love
Whether noticed
Around the edges
Or in the center
Love holds the ability to grow
From the tiniest bits of joy-
The first chirp of the
Robin’s morning Hello!
The yellow-gold leaves
Of mountain Aspens in the Fall
The evening whisper of the wind
As it says Goodnight! to the pines –
Listening causes me to look
Seeing causes me to smile
Feeling causes me to
Open my window just a crack
So joy can find her way inside-
Do you hear the birds?
Do you see those trees?
Did you feel that breeze?

They may sound like
Unimportant things to ask
But what if those questions
Are the first notes in a
Song of hope for the one
Seeking a hand to hold

  1. Oh, Kelley. You’re in my favorite part of our country during my favorite season. “Seeking”. Your words of brokenness, and the ways showing gratitude, thankfulness, and compassion, can help us all in our brokenness. A dear friend and I celebrate our “brokenness”…even to a giggle of, “girl, you’re so broken!” Knowing full well that it was there, we found healing and a love and compassion that grew because of it! Please soak in the Rocky Mountain air for me. Sweet friend, you were on my mind this morning as I go and substitute for a music class today. Sending love and hugs. πŸ‚πŸ’šπŸ™πŸ»
