Light

Sometimes,
it takes a miracle
a timing of sorts,
when a place,
a space
is given
to one
who needs it
most.

Sometimes,
just like that,
we wonder
what could be
this miraculous
unexpected
light
in the darkest
of skies.

Then,
there are times
when we appreciate
the kindness of a kiss
the lowering of the eyes
the tenderness
of one who has seen
many a woman
cry.

In the end,
what is this space
of unknowing,
speechless words?
hung in mid-air
a hummingbird
with no footing
nor
flight
just there.
