Against All Odds (Poem by Maureen Blake)

Against All Odds

hope believes
catches in a crack
hunkers down
resolute
sends root searching deep
until seek becomes find

parched persistence survives

stubborn stem reaches sunward
through soul split by dry despair
undaunted by drought

when frailer blossoms fade
this tender bud flowers
watered by celestial streams

this
seed
will
grow

I work to amplify good wherever I find it. I love color, texture, beauty, great ideas, nature, metaphor, deliciousness, genuine spirituality, and exploring new territory. I encourage authenticity, nurture creativity, champion sustainability, promote peace, and hope to foster a new renaissance where we all are free to be our most fulfilled, multifaceted, and terrific selves.
