In between the beams of light
grow the roses. With reaching
limbs like arms stretching
too the sky, and roots
dig deeply seaking hydration
and nutrients in the earth.
We are like the roses,
we grow in between the beams
of God’s light, we search the earth
for hydration and nutrients.
We are child like under
God’s grace and mercy.
Such divine intervention as
is the light God shines
through the smoke and
smog we produce and design.
Sometimes we are blinded
by our smoke and smog,
until we have time to
open our eyes.
