A testament to resilience, vulnerable yet fierce,
as we emerge into the light
wild, untamed, unapologetic,
paving paths that lead us home to ourselves.
This image may be a city below stormy clouds. Or a joy inside the soul, or a far off war. Or a stellar nebula, light years across. Hope must be kept near the heart. It may be as large as nations or small as a child. Only we can nurture it, carry it.
