Poetry/ Prose

I am taken so lightly

I never the catch light.

In a room

No eyes roam

To hold my gaze

Or hold me.

In a room

I am so lonely.

A forgotten birthday

No one sees me

Or what they see

cannot hold them

Why can't it hold them

Why can't I hold them?

To be as soft and loved

As the summer

As magnetic as a pagan song

First godless Glimmer

Like a sea in the sun-

Pretty from the peripheral

A prettier blue from far away

You fall away

Once you know-

I only shine by day

And only in the passing light

By the changing of the clouds

By the grace,

By the fall of light and shade
