This is so deep beautiful sara, I absolutely love your monoku, truly intriguing and so moving. Made me ponder, and i agree with you, in so many different levels, softest things always override hardest of all, sometimes we dont realize how something so little and so freely around us can make such a huge difference when all is but hard. Light can only fight out darkness, not darkness. Pleasure reading this delicately woven powerful line. Sending you light always

I appreciate your profound and wise comments, dearest Ink! I'm grateful you're the kind of poet who ponders what she reads. True, something so soft and little can override darkness. My mom always said, only light & softness can defeat darkness and hardness. Thanks for your visit and thoughts this morning. Have a lovely day, Sara

You need the sensitivity to feel such softness.....you have this in abundance Sara...gives rise to worthwhile meditation.
