Miracle
When on grazed knees
you sink
begging for a miracleraise your eyes to the left
and see the people in your life
the random meetings in what
were billions of
statistical opportunities
yet you stumbled on this one
that holds your hearteven
if it was brieflyRaise your eyes to the right
and see that all you ever needed
has been there for you
even when you couldn’t see it
the earth
has never withdrawn her supportLook inward and notice
when you breathe
that tiny
moment
of nothingness
as you breathe out
your body decides
to breathe in again
and that each morning you awake
with a clean slate
to break the patterns
of your self-created incarcerationYou too are the flower
that chose to bloom
in the only chink
within the concreteand you think you need a miracle
