winter (2)

beneath the snow, a flower

dreaming a mirthful spring

beyond the clouds, a star

shining from deep within.

flame

 

some say

sunset is only light

in colours purple, red and tangerine

melting the sky into the sea

weaving a dream into our soul

so that at night a star will flourish

some say

that light is transitory

a firefly in a blink

but i know of spring

of life's eternal cycle

of the radiance in your soul —

that you too are light.

(for D.)
