Disappearing

Photo courtesy of my mom 💛

Seen in a simple glance
Felt in a single step
Eyes compelled
To focus on the source
And not the darkness
Attempting to sneak
Into my periphery–
Though it may try
It cannot block
The quiet promises
Of hope and warmth
Flowing from the light
Lengthening each glance
Strengthening each step
Assurance that this light
Will not be engulfed
Rather, that the darkness
Will eventually disappear

  1. Your words are profound and powerful to me. As always, they’re a gift. Please tell your Mom that her capture, with your words, speak to my heart about the beauty, darkness, and light in my life–and that the light has brought hope. You and your family are precious to me, Kelley. 💕🤍❣️

      1. Thank you, my friend. I appreciate your love and am sending it back to you, with prayers always! One of the teachers I worked with, Dawn, always thinks of me when she sees clouds. To this day she’ll send me a cloud pic out of the blue. Now, when I look at clouds, I think of your Mom, along with Dawn and my twin who loves them. It warms my heart that such wonderful people come to mind. Often, I think, “I bet Kelley would have just the right words for this nature scene!” ❣️🤍🤗⛅
