Lavender dusk of sky
mingles with the sweet breath
of gardenia mist view.
Hush scatters across them all
so as not to forget it's tenderness.
A blanket for the many
homeless wanderers
in need of comfort tonight.

A few years back I wrote a post it note for myself. It lives on my bathroom wall. This note is to remind me how to get back on track when I feel out of sorts. It says, “Whenever I am in service to others I know exactly who I am.” If I am confused or down all I need to do is get in action to serve someone else. Love is an action and when I take authentic action to serve others I regain my footing in life.
Send a poem to your friends.
So beautiful. Thank you, Ali. 💜
