A Little Light Peeks Through

eyelashes reach for skies traveled by many imaginations

a slight flicker, they glisten as water settles at their tips

green kindly grows from light and deepens near the eye’s edge

a sunflower’s golden yellow bursts around beauty’s black

there isn’t enough time to spend trapped in their gaze

a breeze soon lifts a smile, like a sickness it spreads, only welcomed

for it has already been absorbed by your own needs

fingers dance through hair fallowing music you’ve never heard

hands give way to a past littered with laughter between hardship’s grasp

every sophisticated crease illuminates emotions locked away

warm rays tickle every muscle and you feel the earth’s intentions

the subtle spin slows beneath confident feet excited to walk next to Him

no words are needed, what’s within filters to the surface

a single glance tells the only story you want to hear

dreams hold tight to the only ride you want to take

life begins to replay, pause buttons should have been installed

ears that listen begin to guide better than mouths that tell

soon emerging from beneath every rock, crawling away from the fight

walls that shut out all peeking in fall beneath the fine print

and there aren’t anymore questions

what you’ve always asked has been answered in a slight whisper

every image crumples, unfolding into new thoughts

beauty starts to open up like a gift unwrapping itself

reaching out to hold it back, a simple “thank you” slips out

this sort of thing doesn’t stick around for long

getting to witness takes every last ounce of breathe

and lies it neatly over your mind, a veil of ease, fighting in your corner
