Astonishing light

I wish I could show you when you are lonely

or

in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.

It Felt Love

 

How did the rose ever open its heart 
And

give to this world all its beauty?

It felt the encouragement of light Against its Being,
Otherwise,

We all remain Too Frightened.
