The sunlight pierces through the bottom of this darkness
Like a sword into gossamer
Almost translucent,
Almost transparent
It bridges the far-divided chasm
So delicate
Brings life closer to dripping sweetness
Drawing out the shadows from descending dusk
A lone flower stands solid in the storm's onslaught
Nourished by a gentle, solitary ray
