There Is a Contest I Want to Enter
There is a contest I want to enter,
but I don't know what it's for.
I want to win something,
walk down the aisle
when my name is called,
mount the stage, take the mic,
and, in a courageous attempt to speak before tears take over,
thank God and my Master
for awakening me
to this moment of pure and perfect gratitude.
I will take a breath,
words beginning to form within me
like bubbles from the bottom
of a freshly poured glass of champagne,
but I will say nothing,
stunned.
In this oasis of love,
poised in perfect silence,
long before the first impulse to express,
everyone wins,
everyone receives exactly what they came here for.
