Watching a sunrise

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
