W3 :: beams of light

look
up in the sky
hope is there
between the beams of light
darkness retreats
room for joy
make space in your being
never leave for tomorrow
the opportunity is here and now


the opportunity is here and now
never leave for tomorrow
make space in your being
room for joy
darkness retreats
between the beams of light
hope is there
up in the sky

  9. Elizabeth,

    Elizabeth, your reverse poem gracefully urges us to embrace hope in the present. The concise lines, especially “make space in your being,” resonate with a profound call to mindfulness. Your uplifting words create a compelling and optimistic piece.
