In the Light

A sweetness lingers in the air
as the mum petals fall
softly down,
still lovely in being
what they are.

We are not cast down,
no matter the challenge.
We are brought up in our
persistence through the doubt.

Trials come steadily;
relentless like the summer sun,
but being known by one
is all we need.

Like a tiny seed, we go against
the grain
to be in the light.
