Light-7/30/09

Shadow chased heart

Heavy

Each beat a battle

Inching

Incrementally forward

Death

Waiting in the wings

Some days welcome

Others forestalled

A constant companion


Chiaroscuro

Now things

Were edged

Neither black nor white

Not light nor dark

Chaotic and divided

Changing

Altering

The merest

Whisper of

Salvation


Sea Green

Clear

And

Guileless

All seeing

Eyes

Radiating a

Painful compassion

The carapace

Cracking


Pale skin

Luminous and loved

Every inch

Claimed

Coveted

A

Resplendent soul

Offered in

Redemption

Soothing balm

To heal

A shattered heart
