I wrote this poem several months ago, but it doesn’t feel finished to me. I’m not sure whether I need to add more to it or revise it or what. :/ I would appreciate any and all feedback, especially your impression of what it’s about and whether it feels like a whole thought to you.

I will glow

beyond this dreary ache.

I will shine

reflecting the profound love

enveloping me even when

I can’t see it.

It takes a strike

to light a match,

a collision of flints to make

sparks–

and even a candle, warm

and incalescent,

burns.

Tagging a few people I can think of who might have suggestions: @sir-leeds @brandon-miller @emma-starr @cindy @christieaton @briannastorm @mariposa @anyone else I should be remembering
