Rainbows and Storms

The world is not the sum of its rainbows,
nor the tally of its storms...
it is the vision carried in the soul,
the inward star or inward eclipse
that shapes each step.

Your kind words are warmly appreciated. If the poem carried any small glimmer of truth, it is shared from the quiet current that moves through us all. My thanks, and respectful greetings to South Africa.
