We take the peek at a Brighter day
Not too closely
Lest we are blinded
by the brilliance that joy can bring
but we observe
Observe

That our dark can recede
can fade
In spite
or because of
our efforts
(I think it's in spite of!!)

I accept the glorious days

Thankful for the light they cast
on all round my life
peeking under the bed
lolling around the dustbunnies
asking
will you play today?
will you please play?

Today I can say Yes!
I can play
I can spread the light
Scare those shadows away
On into the night
Stay, stay...
that's a good boy...
Stay gentle now.

And maybe
That brighter day
Was happening without me!
Imagine!
The cheek!

A good day happening without me.
I shake my head in consternation.
This is what I've been waiting for all this time
And it's been right here
Waiting for me.
Where have I been?
Looking at my bellybutton? (No, only recently)
No.
It waits
Patiently

Until we are ready for it.
Happiness.
Hope.
Light in place of dark.
