Anticipations

The grace that comes from knowing
       that gift of consciousness
that places us at the very centre
       of the imagined universe
that inner voice that guides
       and informs us
that is aware
       of all our yesterdays
and yet so eagerly
       anticipates each tomorrow

The grace that comes
       from feeling
that builds an intimate
       world of sense
of enriched experience
       and of all the emotions
that are ours
       to have and to hold

John Lyons
