The world right now is with uncertainty fraught
In these volatile times, I need a grounding thought
To calm my anxious mind, as if on cue
A gorgeous sunrise comes into my view
I am reminded that in an uncertain world I can rely
On the sun rising and setting every day in the sky
*
When human unpredictability has a destabilizing influence
Turning to nature has a grounding effect immense
It is a reminder to me to detach myself from the news cycle endless
And go outdoors to observe a natural process
When world events lead to anxiety and despair
I must remember to breathe in some fresh air
Allow myself to be awed by sunset and sunrise
See the world around me with hope in my eyes
