The prompt for Poets and Storytellers United is "Tell us something good"
Where shadows weave light
Can you hear the music?
You said it is slow and spiritless,
but her heart danced to the edge of the earth.
Do you see the shadow’s shape?
You said the dark makes you gasp for light,
while she saw light being woven through the shadow.
Have you breathed the air today?
You said it’s damp and dusty,
while the scent of rain on stone made her inhale deeply.
In the vastness of your mind,
a world is built of thoughts
some hard ones were taught.
To hide the fractures and ruptures,
you press a plaster to the pain,
you polish your pride
and place it on display.
But she walks barefoot in the sand,
writing verses in the sky
so soft the clouds will carry them,
so true the birds will echo them in song.
I give you a lantern to see her lightness,
your thoughts settle into softness.
Her soul twirls and stirs the stardust,
she invisibly moves you into beauty.
