To Light the Darkness

To save your soul from silent black skies

You must paint the dark with your fire and

light the stars with the song of the universe you lie under.

 

Take in the words that dance off your lips,

Breathe the calling of your essence,

Taste your fire cracking in the night.

 

Forget the shrieks echoing in the evenings black-tinted air,

Focus on the light that hums from the embers of the moon,

the beat of a flower’s petals tangoing with the wind,

the melody of how a bird’s wings flutter during flight.

 

The last beat is that of which comes from fellow man,

the tune of friends walking with you during the day,

the soothing whisper of a lover in your arms,

and the mysterious call of strangers in unexplored shadows.

 

If you let your heart listen to the music,

then the lyrics will become a part of you  

and you will be a part of everything that sings.

The fires of the world will burn with you as one 

with the vivid passion of a sweet rising sun.

After I finished reading this poem I closed my eyes and sat in
Silence soaking in such good work. Loved it from beginning
to end. The fluidity of the poem was so sweet that it gave me a
Cavity. This right here is a true piece of art, that is why you are
My favorite. Btw how did it go on that open mic day you talked
About, reading your work to a audience?

You write with such visual acuity! This is quite beautiful with a warmth rising from it that belies the chill that lies within several of your lines. I enjoyed it very much.

Gosh this is so poetic, er ok ok I guess thats why you wrote it, what I meant to say was this is excellent poetry, beautiful words from an intelligent woman, spread over a flowing piece of sublime verse
