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
