I feel the pricks of sand beneath my tender hands,

As though I were sat atop a shattered glass beach,

With my head cocked towards the blissful Sky.

I don't understand how this could be;

As I do not feel,

the pain of others within the crevices of my fingers.

For I was born to rain upon this world,

In magnificent showers.

But where I am now

pink and orange, white and blue
from this distance they seem to melt into an aura

age 15

The enchanting  clear light

Of the immortal moon

Captivates my soul and brings me

To my knees.

Arms outstretched to cleanse myself

My being is in turmoil!

Cringing – exultant -

Cowering – triumphant -

Under the pou...
