Luminous Efforts

There are many tiny devils and villains

littered across the land, across our lives -

they latch on and bring you down.

Some are worse than others, but they all

scream and yell, desperate to be heard.

Unbeknownst to most, though;

unsung, quiet agents of the light

work, tirelessly

to counter the schemes

and the manifestations of our villains.

Pay no mind to the screams, the yells

the pulling and tugging at you.

Instead - take a breath, focus,

and catch even just a glimpse

of the luminous efforts

unfolding all around you.
