New Light

Out of the darkness

and into the light

tomorrow

appears

like green shoots

new born

on a rocky ledge.

In the background, the cave

mouth

yawns darkly.

Looking back, we see

where we have been but remain

blinded to where we may go.

We wait.

 

And then

the sun’s first rays

filtered through a canopy

above

lights up each

dew-touched

green-ness,

blessing it with

Life.  And we find

we can

move again.

We lean out from

yesterday’s

dark

mystery

emerging with grace

filled with today’s

new

light.
