Let the Light In

Still a work in progress...

Smallish beauty
you're calmly refuting
to be who you are,
who you know you to be
Silence the lips,
wear red, let it speak
to your power, your vice,
your love or your life

Candidly seeking,
breathing and keeping
the fire in your soul
and swiftness on your tongue
Flee when it suits you,
fall into something
anything, nothing,
better than here

Might you stay,
you will ruin the day
and shed the skin born unto you
Write, breath, see the sunrise
Hold tight, run fast
Let the light in
