Torchlight
throughout the invisible world
where i exist
is there much rejoicing, yes, yes there is
i talk it to the trees and through their extensive root system i think they must together shift things around until they go my way, for i am heard in green lush silence
the sun not sick outside my window, but kind, peaceful, consistent, just a little warm to counter ocean breeze
love is an adoring spotlight, shines so bright, showcasing attributes, talents, kindnesses, and the greater one's capacity to love, the wider the heart, the brighter the light shines, sharper, narrower, fixed
so later, when it's switched off, no one sees
hey, that's not so very bright over there hey
hey, those attributes, talents, kindness, sure but also, shadows, dimming, imbalances perhaps quieter perhaps, considering levels of wickedness each down separate paths
hey, hey sorry for the blinding light, must've been hard to see, hard to look
i have turned it inward, not off, yes i am surprised at my enjoyment, my pure bliss, of being invisible in a transient town of language experts, transplants, troops, travelers and rich elders, me just living my work, which i am oh so good at, arts, light in light places, shining in, shining anew, welcomed, missed
