I hadn’t seen it

did I ever really look?

to see the love in pain

to see destiny in a paintbrush

to see copper in the sky

to see fortune in lessons hard learned

to see beauty rise from decay

see glimmers within my tears

and a strange sense of knowing

the softness in a rock

fast water as an ally

and fire as an opportunity

the spark inside you

kindles desire inside me

for healing

I will sit with unrest in my heart

and find peace
