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
angry 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.

This is precisely what I needed to read today. Thank you for posting.
Hey honey. Just wanted to say that I am thinking of you. And keeping you in my prayers. Just know that even thought I am 2348434823 miles away...I will still stand behind you and help hold you up. :-) You are super super strong!
This was lovely, Sara.
Gorgeous thought. You are a strong woman!
What a beautiful post. I'm truly in awe of you.
Inspiring words. And those pictures are amazing as well.
I have been feeling this way lately---knocked down but staggering to drag myself up. Trying to beat it, this thing. Trying to prove that I am stronger than IT.
Inspiring.
Lovely, inspirational post!
Girlie, you're making me nervous. I hope all is well in the Domestic Household. Keep on keepin' on.
What's going on, girly? I hope everthing is ok. This was a very inspiring post and I can totally relate to it. (Especially this week.)
Sending you lots of positive thoughts and virtual hugs.

That was beautiful but, like the previous commenter, I wonder what's going on...Hope all is okay.
Or hope it is just one mood of many and has passed by the time you read this.

Hi there :) That was beautifully written, and the pictures were perfect for every word.
Would running help make you feel better?
Well I see I'm not the only one out of the loop but hope you are doing ok. I'm guessing this all has to do with the 'change' you talked about earlier. BTW, you should come on down to NC. Beautiful pictures and words!

Those are pretty words, Sara, they are inspiring to me, and I love park benches like in your photos, outdoors is for me!

You are a light. When one is in a completely DARK room, if you light one tiny candle, there is no more darkness. Darkness is so easy to expel - LIGHT. This was an amazing posting - I liked it & will save it to view again and again. I like how you took darkness and wrestled it down with a few simple well placed words. WOW.
Loved this one!
Amazing words, Sara and great photos as well.
And thanks so much for your lovely comments on my blog.
Hope you're having a lovely week-end!
