Portfolio of Hope

When you step outside and it’s dark,
look back up to where you came from-
to an occupied room where, from the window,
a soft yellow hue is reflected onto the glass-
illuminating the room,
as seen from the outside in.
Illuminating the darkness,
a window into someones life,
a window into your life.

Like the sun caressing the sky on a crisp, winters morning,
that small window,
that opening into your life,
it acts as a beacon of warmth,
of safety,
of hope.
It serves as a reminder that:
Even the seemingly darkest moments still have light to be found within them-
if only you look up.

So, please,
look back up-
towards hope.
