Written in honour of International Women’s Day 2025.

Light
She was a seeker of light —
in sunsets, sunrises,
dappled light through trees,
reflections off water or snow.
She loved the magic it created —
ever changing colours,
different perspectives,
diamonds sparkling across a surface.
She was beginning to realize
she too was a light,
with gifts and talents
she’d dimmed for too long.
It was time…
to step out of the shadows,
confidently shine,
and show others they can too.
