Selfless Service

by Sundi Decker

It’s that feeling when you know

you have done something right.

It twinkles and breathes in your

heart.

It spirals and shines through your

soul.

It weaves with all goodness exposed

in smooth melody.

And you feel like all the warmth

of the world gathered up tight

and you know you are blossoming,

ready to sprout with love’s wings.

You are unthawed,

pristine water

Cajoling life everywhere—

at least in yourself.

Cleansing anywhere,

like scouring floods of sunlight—

you are cleansing yourself.
