Sunbeam ecstasy


Oh man, that golden shaft of light

cutting through my dirty window

like God's own jazz trumpet

screaming YES YES YES

across the cluttered landscape

of my Tuesday morning soul—


And somewhere far off

beyond the concrete and exhaust fumes

a radio bleeds music

sweet saxophone bleeding

through apartment walls

and garbage can symphonies,

that distant rhythm

pulsing like a heart

that remembers what it means

to be ALIVE—


The way dust motes dance

in that holy sunbeam

like tiny enlightened beings

showing me the secret:

that joy lives in the smallest things,

in the crack of light

under the door,

in the hum of electricity

through wires,

in the sound of footsteps

on stairs leading somewhere,

anywhere—


This moment, this NOW

when the sun says hello

and the music says don't forget

and my skin says thank you

for being here,

for breathing this air

thick with possibility

and morning coffee dreams

and the wild beautiful chaos

of being human

and feeling it all

rushing through me

like freight trains

of pure golden

HALLELUJAH!
