Kept in constant,
state of blooming
Even in the winter,
our hands, delicate petals, reach out.

The frozen sun’s rays
durst to break through,
hardened, stone like air,
fizzing and metabolized,
before they reached us.

Here we are,
holding out for warmth,
holding out for a familiar
hand to hold.

We’re seeing,
after blindness relinquished it’s hold,
throwing cascades and ringlets of daisies
our way.

The sun was always meant to shine,
even while we’re shrouded in blackness.

The tide turns
with the magnetic poles,
pulling us along with it.

We are not in control

We were never in control

We are kept in constant chaos,
brimming with the courage to change it.

    This reminds me of a saying I heard once: Genius is the ability to reach into the chaos and make sense of it.

    Beautiful piece. The courage and hope to change things can be a powerful and wonderful feeling.

    Also – I hope you had a wonderful visit to Niagara a few weeks ago. Apologies on not getting back to you sooner, we had a family emergency (that’s still ongoing). Hopefully our paths can cross sometime in the future.

      Thank you! I agree completely. Hope is one thing that can keep us going, even at our lowest points. Oh no! I hope all will be ok with your family. I will be praying. Please let me know if you need anything. I hope so, too !!!

      That means so much to me. I have been having a very rough time as of late but I’m trying to push through. It’s mental health stuff. I’m happy I can bring some relief to you . That’s what this is all for. I don’t want anyone to feel alone, ever! I hope your load lightens. I am praying for you and yours and sending good thoughts/ energy your way
