Just one
Radiant beam
Shimmering in the dark
Can light up a room… Or a life
With hope!

#LyrePoem Triolet #3 Inner Space
When chaos spins around so fast,
It’s time to cleanse our inner space
In Light, the only thing that lasts,
When chaos spins around so fast.
With changes quick and options vast,
We still can choose a slower pace.
When chaos spins around so fast,
It’s time to cleanse our inner space.
