Survivors

The most dazzling creeks
tumble on rocks,
they dance, glitter and sing.

The most resplendent sunsets
transform clouds
to silver, crimson and gold.

The most perfected lives,
kiln-fired by sorrow,
grow tender, gracious, serene.

(Carol Bindel, Inherited Estate: A Song Cycle, Trace Hay Publishing, 2012, 91)
