A wan sunlight

A wan sunlight

Laps weakly

At the window

Strangely resistant to mourning

The loss of its power

To surprise,

Thrumming its fingers

Against the backdrop

Of a rainstorm

Revealing a tendency

To break through

Even at its lowest ebb

Optimism continues

To send it

Reaching into corners

With the audacity

Of a solar flair,

Looking to find strength

In an abundance of shadow

Building up

To full radiance

Eclipsing

All challenges

Quietly reassuring

In its persistence

To pick holes

In absolute darkness

Brightening the day

With a touch of

Gratitude.
