Briefly Glorious


She stands, bare-foot,
at the kitchen sink
with her eyes closed.
In her hand, the wet dishrag, forgotten,
drips suds onto the linoleum.
Her body sways, she sings;
her voice rounded, melodic.
Her spirit soars with the music,
reaches toward heaven
and her rightful place in the universe.
She glows with the radiance of
sunlight reflected off dancing waters,
warmth spreads as liquid from her chest
outward to the tips of her fingers and toes, tingling.
Transformed, she is all that she ever wanted to be.
The walls of her soul stretch, ballooning
to fill her with awareness
of her identity; where she belongs.
Here now one with all that is
and all that ever will be.
Strange and brief moment of glory
spirit song and dream.
The music stops,
she sighs, plunges her hands back
into a lukewarm reality.
