Miracle
SpoilerMiracle
I awoke and saw a bright,Yellow flower, sitting aloneOn my dresser.It was, and is, such a simple thing…A yellow flower. A spark in the darkness.A flame, ready to grow.But I saw it as so much more.I saw it as a promise. A miracle.This long, dark, depressing winterCan only last so long before SpringMakes her appearance.It was a symbol of hope, of light, of an endingTo the dark.Spring.My heart laughs with joyAt the thought.Warmth, sunshine, new life.So different from the cold, hard,Angry form of Winter, who has triedSo many times to trap me in his cold,Sad, scary, embrace.But I will soon escape.The darkness, the cold, the fear,The depression, the anger, the emptiness,The loneliness, the sadness, the tears…They all make up the winter,The winter that I will soon escape from.With the helpOf my tinyMiracle.My little flower…I think of her as my friend now,One who is helping toSee me through the dark days,One who is promising light,And with the light, comes life,Comes new ideas,New hope, new purpose, new plans,What started this?A tiny, yellow flower…One who has become my friend,One who, at her passing,Will shrivel, and die.But my hope does not die with her.Nay, it springs afresh with each of her siblings.A fresh miracle, one for me to enjoy,Until hope comes toThe outside world.Until the Miracle of SpringIs upon us.~ Stick 2-22-24Stars
