Moonlight

Dark night

Jasmine blooming

Small and bright

Little voice

Find the light

Why are the best things always in black and white

Foggy morning

Light of day

Overcast

Shades of gray

Writing on the windowpane

Life’s shape feels murky still today

Rainbow

Technicolor dreams

Happy ending

No more schemes

Wildflowers

In the seams

Concrete is fertile where light beams

Sit in prayer

Hold fast

Wait till morning

Dark’s last gasp

Blooming jasmine

On the grass–

The best things come from contrast

    The final lines about waiting for morning's arrival and the blossoming jasmine emphasize the transformative power of contrast. ✨ Well done!!! This poem reminds me to appreciate the interplay of light and darkness in my life. 👏
