Poem by Laura Foley.

Sometimes life is hard. Sometimes we have to go through the dark night of the soul. Here is a poem that honors the pain while showing an opening to hope:

Radical Sky

20 years ago
I was getting married
on a boat
called Karma
on a sunny day
in a bay of dolphins.

My 9 year old sister
carried the ring
on a pillow.

Now they are all gone:
sister, father, mother, husband.
A litany of loss.

But I have learned
this:
even in the smallest circle of sun
reflected through a tiny prism of snow
you can see all the colors.
