Sprout wonder,
Drink up the rain
Of spent tears
And wounded heart,
Singing spring
In a winter Sun.

Lean on revelation,
Trust the divination
Being spoken into darkness,
Assurances banked.

You
Lean into the new dawn,
Embracing the Light
Of every new glory,
Adjusting to the heat.

That could be a gateway to the next,
Or just a moment,
Or the rest of our lives.
