Amidst the shifting, trust

Shadows and light, patterns on a life,
moving across each picture
like clouds across the sky,
casting highlights,
illuminating dreams,
shading reality...
If inside all is dark,
step outside your world and see
the movement and the shift:
know the light is slowly
inching toward your window;
preparing to pour in again.
Take your cup in readiness,
stand and hold it by your window.
Trust that it will soon be filled with light.
