Shiny Disco Ball

I am what I am :)

A shiny disco ball, 

a bundle of sparkle, 

a sack of effervescent glitter -

is what I am.

I’m not trying to stoke my own flames 

in this fire aglow with the kind of warmth 

that wraps its arms around you,

holds you, envelops you while reminding

gently in your ear, that yes,

everything is going to be alright.

I do not need to stoke, or tend, 

or even run off and gather more wood.

It’s a fact. 

A sack full of intermittent light I am.

I like to bounce around, in and out,

from here to there so fast you don’t even notice I am gone. 

I travel at the speed of light 

that’s, 299792458 metres / second.

I call myself Speedy.

I have always had an affinity with dancing, 

feeling the rhythm reach right into my bones 

and allowing it free passage to move my body 

in the waves of eternity - floating free - freedom - ah ….

I am a Shiny Disco Ball,
I can light up your life, 

but your are the one who controls the switch.

Just call her Speedy. This brought to mind my younger years and the dancing which me and my friends loved. Loved the sparks off of that disco ball and your write. Valentine

And more, methinks!

That disco light that is you really is a''buzz with moves! You lure onlookers onto the dance floor with your super smooth phrases and the hidden sight of your reason as you drop your veils.. villain and goddess you are. Aas to the switch, I'll leave that to the gentleman and then, sit back and watch the cabaret!

Great write with attack and laughter, phrase after phrase!

i went looking for you the other day ... you must have been closed for the day :) so, this mornign it was a real treasure to wake and find your shiny brightness splattered all over right here in a mess of delight (I like delightful mess)

A quick fun write, summing up my mood yesterday, thinking about how we are all just sparks and protons shimmering our way through what some interpret as the daily grind .... X

Own it! I am woman, hear me roar, see me sparkle within my own volition, I'll light your life at my own discretion. Fully lit and appreciated! :)
