Awakening

What if you awoke
and found
that
truly
evil is not a factor?
That
there really is no bad actor?
That life is joyously intended
and created
and preserved
that
good alone
is planned for you
and never threatened?
Wouldn’t you leap up and sing 
grateful, bright, all-light
even childlike
in expecting good
with all its blessings?

—Suzanne Goewert
