Blessed New day

A
new
day
rises
replacing
the old one
bringing its own
minerals, jewels
to inspire
to nourish
to bless
to feed
your mind
your heart
your soul
determined by
your being here
in the present
the here
the there
that exist now
so resist not
open your
hands
mind
heart
soul
on this
new
day!
