Second Bloom

I thought I'd seen the map from end to end Each road had settled into something known Then one small morning changed the way I noticed The ordinary somehow softly shone I stopped demanding every day amaze me And found surprise had never gone away It waited in the habits I overlooked Until I chose to truly stay Every sunrise has another story Even when it starts the same as yesterday Life keeps smiling through the smallest moments If I leave a little space along the way A stranger's laugh, a window left wide open The scent of rain before the clouds arrive I learned that wonder isn't something captured It finds the ones who let their spirit breathe Maybe I was never running out of reasons Maybe I was learning how to see The world kept turning with a patient kindness Until it caught the slower side of me Every sunrise has another story Even when it starts the same as yesterday Life keeps smiling through the smallest moments If I leave a little space along the way Now every mile feels lighter than before Not because the road has changed its course Because I greet each corner with acceptance And let each blessing find its quiet source I don't need every answer all at once A little faith can travel far enough The heart grows wide by welcoming the unknown And calling every fresh beginning love Every sunrise has another story Even when it starts the same as yesterday Life keeps smiling through the smallest moments If I leave a little space along the way Every sunrise has another story Every season leaves a gift to keep I walk ahead with open hands and patience Trusting tomorrow has its own to speak
