“You need clouds to make a good sunset”

“You need clouds to make a good sunset”

Don’t fret 
as you begin to meet with your dreams 

As the day seems to drift asleep 
will you still keep your wishes awake?

As you drift into a silent slumber 
The test to surrender 
is one we all remember 

As the sun heads to bed 
How is it that here I greet 
what brings me most peace 
and the fears I hold 
of stories yet to be told 
or written 
From the places hidden from view 
inside of me and you 

Is it true
that I must fear what I can’t see? 

Or is what’s hidden
like the roots of a tree 
Keeping me grounded to the Earth 

For, isn't it the unseen that serves our lives
until the ending of our times?

with love,

Emma
