If You Say I’m Your Daughter
If You say I’m Your daughter, why do I so utterly defenseless seem to be against all storms afire in the sky, against all hurricanes that stir the sea?
The Altar in My Heart
I don’t have a temple; I barely have a prayer. In the hollows of this empty church, I know that You are there. I find You in the silence, in the way the shadows fall, I find You in my heartbeat as it echoes from wall to wall.
The Fire-Knit
Something magical is floating from the firepit, Something beautiful in faces that are fire-lit. A strange song crackles between wood rings, slowly fire-bit. Our party encircles the blaze, becoming fire-knit.
Hidden Words
The best-hidden words are the most sought for: elusive phrases hiding under tongues and peering from eyes; retreating to throats and dancing through minds; creatures so passionate and yet so timid; unwilling to leave the safety of the heart and strong enough to burn the lips that conceal it.
I Hope You Know
I understand your hesitation, dear one. Life has fallen so far from perfect. You’re left shattered, staring at the broken pieces of what was your normal life, struggling to find the words to say goodbye to what was good, and safe, and predictable, tired of searching for the silver lining, tired of looking on the bright side.
