she sits on a park bench

alone

reflecting, breathing-

the first, fresh breaths of spring.

the darkness will come for her again,

knock her down

try and take her out

it will grasp at her with an

gry claws

threatening it all…

but it

will not

can not

take her down

for she has love in her…

a deep love for life.

and darkness cannot hide behind the light of love.
