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
