Poem: Despite Everything

Despite Everything

Despite everything,
I find beauty
in the quiet
treasured spaces
where
stillness and truth
are found,

despite everything,
I find comfort
in the brilliant rays
that pierce the colored
glass of my soul,

despite everything
I still believe
in goodness,
 mercy,
grace,
forgiveness 
and love,

despite everything.
