Lightly

Let my thought lift

like vapor at morning light,

separating, rising from the earth,

let my concerns disperse

in the sun’s clear radiance

I don’t need heaviness,

I don’t need worry,

don’t need to hold on to everything —

That which will bless me,

that which I am,

rests light as sunshine

on my head.
