I Must Remember

Leaning in to the Mystical Tradition
Written By Brian Mueller

I must remember
to keep something beautiful
in my heart
                  always
                  always.

I must remember
to keep something beautiful
in my heart
                  always
                  always.

Should I forget,
the sun may choose to retreat
and the sky grow cloudy,
muting the many splendid colors
all around me
                  everywhere.

The beauty I hold near
                  intensifies
the beauty I carry within.

Though I do not smile
or laugh often enough,
nearer to the surface
is my rogue spirit,
forever on the quest
                  for unexpected beauty
and holy perfection.
