Sunrise
is the threshold where we tremble
on the brink of wanting more
than can be dreamt of
in the quiet
left by hope.
Sunset
is the marker where we measure
our success at leaving fate
to fight against the
joy that dazzles
as we win.

I’m taking this as a good omen for the interview I’m about to go in for. The sun’s been shining but now there’s a blanket of cloud. Perhaps a sign I’m going to win? Need a fingers crossed emoji! Love the gentle resilience of this poem.
Oh, good luck and fingers crossed! And, thank you Cara x
