Not all is lost

Colored leaves shimmered in the rain The beauty could not be washed away Reflecting in calm dark waters, a mirror of peace shined through anyway The fog in silence, drifted around hardened rocks As if hearts waited to be warmed and minds unblocked Visual contrast came along with a blending, as if a divide had now been crossed Able to see each other's side with understanding Light is found in darkness, not all is lost Heidi Sands 10/14/24 (C)opyright
