Peeking out,
Reluctantly,
Shyly striding into the light of day
A sliver of radiant hope
Finally dares to step out.
Peeking out
Out of trials and debilitating grief
Out of the suffering of illness, death, war
Out of the daily ins and outs
Touching her life and those around her
The emotional tides
Sweeping her inner core
Bombarding her relentlessly,
Till the stifling walls in her harden,
Harden, harden, harden and crack
Ominously.
Emerging a woman strong
Proud,
Confident,
Unafraid of her limitations,
Wise beyond her years
Taming the tides,
Gracefully and skillfully,
Strong and ready
To take on the coming storms of life.
The sliver fans outs,
Spreads into a radiant shining Circle of Light.
