Beaded threads of watery light
They’re said to be messengers of afterlife
She’d dawn if you hold on
Grasping scattered miles wrapped carelessly in an old towel on
The front seat
Front Street
Of a you
Hauling painful past regrets through toll booths of payment due
Which can never be repaid
The sherif come
With papers to sign away sins
Worn now in the shadows of a hollow mouth and heart
We took the best parts
and gave them to the light
Birthing
Repeated trails of darkened moss, furry logs torn apart by relentless cold and dampened distanced
Cocaine in the apple blossoms and everything I tried to be, give, make do to take you away from shadow places
A thousand nights of hallelujahs
Alas, I Light this gift which I refused to part with
Given freely by one called lesser
Greater to me and we
Apart from you
I became all He said I could be
Should be
Shared amongst the mourners longing for those million brights, rights, cities evolved
beyond this world
So much more than fleshy tags of expectation
Shining in shop windows at night
Daring to dream of more
Than settling for
Terrified of turning on
And being seen for who we are
Beaded threads of watery light
We shine
xo ~ dare to give to the light
Stunning.

Thanks Mags. We watched Under the Tuscan Sun last night and this just came to me before bed. Let’s go to Italy and buy a villa. 😉

Reblogged this on Niki Flow and commented:
My heart flowed through these lines and broke into pieces in the final few. I knew I had to share this with you, dear whoever-needs-to-be-reading-this-now. “…dare to give to the light” Dare to shine.
