Stillness in Storm

In the garden after rain, 
each leaf 
holds its small cup of mercy 
to the light. 

The soil, softened, 
receives what roots have long been reaching for, 
this quiet conversation between earth and seed, 
the way understanding grows without force, 
how love asks nothing but,
opens like morning into what was always there.
