Light

Arms raised before her, palms turned
Up-towards the sky.
She smiles and closes her eyes.
The sun caresses her face.

She’s not sure what she is waiting for
But it’s something wonderful-
More powerful than she could ever imagine.
She couldn’t say how she knew.

Flower petals drift down from some unknown source
and land softly in her hands.
Bringing the petals closer to her face,
She can smell their sweet fragrance.

Delicate promises from the heavens.
The sun warms her fingers, and
It flows through her,
Filling her completely.

Her heart feels peaceful and secure.
She opens her eyes and feels so free.
Smiling-and with happy tears,
She runs toward the light.
