as the troubles of this world
pass before me
like floating debris after the flood
i turn towards the sun

every bit of hope i can muster
begins to emerge
driven by warmth
the smile of a friend
and the smallest of good news

it falls just within my grasp
radiating with light
as i fold each corner gently
into the greater whole

once completed
its brilliance expands in all directions
to dispel remaining doubts
assuage my fear
and fuel the fires of my heart

Peace
