Look For Light

A robin landed on a thin branch
Watching everything around
It flew leaving the tree swaying
Without ever making a sound

The calm part of day is here
Green buds are now arriving
Even with so much gray sky
And tough things, we are surviving

Each peaceful moment is precious in this craziness
As bad news flows like a raging river
I hold onto peace where ever it is found
To calm my mind and stop the shiver

Evil is taking the reins like never before
A whirlwind is happening every day
Breathe, pray, stay strong all you can
Look for light in the sky, smiles, all on your way

In this light you will not be lost
Discover simplicity and all it inspires
Because there is much more to come
And many things the soul requires

my mom told me once, the only thing you need to worry about is taking your next breath, I've held this thought close ever since...

Your poem beautifully reflects the seemingly perpetual unrest in the world, that we must address with positivity where ever we can find it. Great message. :)Paulette
