To Live a Life Uncommon

Looking into the setting sun
she imagined flying into it
awash in color and brilliance.
Looking into eyes
she sees reflected back to her
the love that connects
herself to all others.
When encountered with
an injustice she has the courage
not to become a victim
nor a reluctant bystander.
Feeling the hands of the wind
upon her skin she envisions
a passing touch from God Himself.
Facing the prospect of vulnerablity
she balances an open heart with wisdom
that she may not compromise
integrity for companionship.
Walking the road of life
she chooses to be responsible
for her choices that she may not
lie in the hopes of a momentary
sense of peace.
Daring to see the God in every
stranger that she may not
shrink back from the pain
nor happiness of others.
Looking into the setting sun
she imagined flying into it
awash in color and brilliance.
