Your quietude
Fills the air
But there’s a mindful
Restlessness that walks
Beside me
Frail, thin thoughts
That won’t let go
And their trailings poison everything
And I swear I will never huddle
At your feet
Too lost and too scarred to belong
Too tired and alone to go on
But then the dreams behind your eyes
Unfold and make you shine
And though my heart’s so weary
Of stumbling on, it always blinds me
That witches’ brew of fortitude
And kindness
The faint, tranquil glow
That shimmers where you go
Oh, I know
It makеs no sense
But evеry time it brings that feeling
Back again
The light and the love and the hope
The ease of it all as it grows
The darkness of my life
Dissolving in a smile
