Hindsight

(from Brainstorms & Artwise Poetry Cards)

There will come a time
when we look back on this day
and remember it as the spark
that ignited the flame,
the catalyst that set the ball in motion.

There will come a time
when we will look back on a picture
and remember the smiles
without the tears,
the outcome without the angst.

There will come a time
when the swirling storm of turmoil
will be edited out of the frame,
leaving only the rainbow that we formed
from fragments of light.
