author's notes: for sylvia (falling winter roses). happy birthday, love! i hope you have a marvellous day and don't judge me too harshly for this 'poem.' :p

la luz

even in my darkest days

you gather sunshine

from the orb invisible to my eyes

to spin into a dress of gold

that spreads fire

every dim place i step

/

even in my darkest nights

you pluck stars

from the galaxy that i cannot see,

and weave them

into a crown of silver constellations

to shed light

wherever i may roam

/

even in my darkest moments

you forgive me my sins,

and carry torches

down this dark tunnel

to help me fight off

the blackness surrounding us

/

even in my dark life

you help me find la luz

though you never figured out

you were my light

(my knight in fiery armour)
