Dear Stranger...

A poem for any stranger

Dear stranger,

I don't know your name,

but I hope you're finding small sparks today.

The world can be heavy,

but even in quiet corners,

light sneaks in where it can.

Maybe things felt too big or too fast once,

but here you are, still moving forward.

That alone is worth noticing.

I hope you notice the little things

a warm cup of tea,

the way sunlight hits a window,

a laugh that comes when you least expect it.

Even if the dark visits again,

remember that it can't stay forever.

Somewhere, always,

light is waiting.

And you

you are still here.

That is enough for today.
