Sometimes, Part 2

[chelidon]

Sometimes
clear intent shines through shadow,
integrity is given and accepted
good wills endure,
hopes bear fruit
desires are fulfilled
common ground is found
and love does carry the day

Sometimes
struggle is a sign of life, of
holding on, to something precious, a hope --
time to grapple, engage
and dedicate, to the work, to each other

Sometimes
you do what you can
to live
