Passport

a poem | five minute friday piece we hide from life’s hammers the ones that threaten then smash and leave us with broken pieces it hurts and it isn’t fair and if we could read crystal balls maybe our world wouldn’t shatter quite so much but when the heavy iron falls and the shards splinter apart we find out exactly what’s inside no place to hide anymore that latent self the one made good and beautiful with good and beautiful dreams crafted by a good and beautiful soul now has a passport to where she’s always belonged

light the candle

a poem This piece first appeared on my Instagram profile and is a response to the Day 2 prompt in the Create Anyway challenge. This 5 day challenge is hosted by The Breath and the Clay and Create Anyway. watch the flame lick down the match feel the heat on fingers sniff the wilderness inside the smoke let the flicker of the wick burn doubt to ash yes, she is here warmth spreading wide scent spiraling high shine melting shadow
