Light Inside

in this moment -
at what feels like
the most impossible
darkest point -
know,
feel it deep within:

there is love in you -
in others
for you too -
you have light,
you possess a way out,
you can see yourself through,

hold tight to that love
inside of you,
with it
better days
will come anew

Reassurance

I want to hear your voice
an audible reminder:
you're still here,
why now,
because we've flirted with loss,
and I am awake
to all I have to lose -
to all I will lose -
I want to make the most
of right now,
in these impossible times,
I need the comfort
of hearing you say -
once more -
there are better days ahead

Calm Before

this beautiful sound
is silence,
unbroken by words
there is just the morning calls
of the birds;
no engines rumble,
no screens scream anger,
there is only Nature
and our thoughts,
this perfect calm
before the day's storms
breathe it in
