hope within our moments
a cousin looks at the world
and cautions us to see all the wonder we can,
to grab it with our soul and thus enlarge ourselves,
despite how often we can feel diminished,
ravaged by despair hidden within the present of every moment,
politics and problems can be heavy weights to carry,
and that effort can make us miss a lot:
a flower, a snow flake, needs to be seen, appreciated, shared,
I am a photographer
and I know every sight has power within its possibilities,
it just takes opening self up enough to look at it right,
somehow within all the zero-sum around us
miracles still manifest in the perfection of a moment,
maybe in a sea shell, in the wing of a bird,
in the will of another who won't be denied,
in our self that risks and then breaks through to a rightness,
every new day is a promise,
and moments for hope start over again.
