There Are Days

There are days
when colours brighten
the grayness of flattened mood.

There are days
when sounds are clear and true
instead of muffled and discordant

There are days
when voices gently
ease a grown child’s pain

There are days
when laughter and smiles
mingle with tears and sadness.

There are days
when one more moment
becomes a baby step forward

There are days
when insecure fear and grief of the past
slides into the security of the present moment.

“One thing you can’t hide ~ is when you’re crippled inside.”

~ John Lennon
