“You can only come to the morning through the shadows.” — J. R. R. Tolkien
Sometimes a shadow falls,
dimming the day, removing
color that once saturated
everything. We sigh deeply,
each breath out releasing
the burdens we carry
until we slow into stillness
and rest. Revived,
once again enlivened
to the vibrancy of life,
we still see imperfections,
but the balance we’ve
found grounds us,
allows us to see
the beauty
as well.
