Image result for sunlight thru hole

I stumble through the brambles and jaded shadows, Straining to catch a glimpse of Your gleam thru the mists ... For I know, sunlight - as hope - can peep through a wee hole. ~ 2nd Place ~ in the "Threesome" Poetry Contest, Silent One, Judge & Sponsor.

Gregory, I love the hints of nature, the struggle, and the final metaphor for hope. As always, you fit so much into a small space. Well done. Blessings, friend ~ J
