Poem-A-Day

Better

by Maria Sohn

I’m drawn to sunbeams 

between dark spaces 

And wallow in moments 

of illumination 

I hold on to hints of reassurance

And sparks of inspiration 

I’m moved by moon light 

lacing water

And dance as the prima 

in dreams I remember

I ride on waves of wonder

And a belief this world will get better
