I
thought
if
I
spend
time
looking
toward
the
horizon
that
when
done
I
will
return
with
much
greater
understanding
and
resolve

I
thought
if
I
went
out of my way
to
help
others
that
I
would
increase
my
likelihood
of
sunlight

But it is still dark

I have no
sense
of
anything
but
loss

Look at all
those
dollars
in
my billfold

But I feel broke
n

I am not lost
but I
have
lost

I have nothing

A little girl said:
“You
forgot
your
faith,
shame
on
you!”

I turned
but
she
frowned
at
me

“Look up!”

I did

I looked up

I would
learn
the
sky
can
say things
without
uttering
a
word

This is
what
I heard:

“Never forsake your heart!
Just wear it on your sleeve!”

All sorts
of
people
started hugging me

A dog
ran up
tail wagging
and
joyfully
jumped
against me
barking
and
seeking
warmth

I swear to
you

I really do:

Flowers rejoiced!

Birds sang!

“Thank you”
I
said
to
the
little
girl

“Daddy,”
she
said,
“can
we
go
get
some
ice cream
now?”
