Guiding Light

Hibiscus in Durham

Yesterday the sun rose

And so it came to fall

The birds that were chirping

Eventually went to rest

The crashing tides,

Melted into the earth’s stuff

And so it goes

The timeless cycle of nature

Here one minute,

But then gone the next,

Ever present

We find ourselves entrenched in the truth,

But A jewel of knowing

Infinite wisdom

Covers us in a blanket

Like the starry night sky

Enveloping us in warmth

A guiding light

Infinite possibility,

As such, we come to know
