Fantasy Challenge Offering

The Center Within

To find the center within,
that doesn’t shift or fade with the seasons
that isn’t swayed by the moon or night.

To find that center,
that can’t be lost in despair
or forgotten in anger
or overlooked in joy.

To find that center,
and to live through it, consciously
fully aware of the touch of the earth
the response of living things
the gift of friends
the miracle of love.
