Notes About The Poem

Image result for beautiful tree , glowing sky photos

To Shine Again

*Inspired by photo


I found my place under the tree
Where the skies glow
Illuminating the land
Enhancing everything in life
A purpose reignites within me
Undeterred by the shade
Only thoughts shining through
To carry on, to accept it all
To shine and shine again

sometimes the shade is the coolest place to be, but the shade of which you speak is a different place...to carry on....one step at a time
