the first soft glow
peeks through
greeting the tops
of the trees
and somehow,
with the slightest bend of light
witnessing this moment
it feels right
to be alive
no matter how hard
the fight.
light
Fields of Gold

Illuminating
Fields of gold stretch far and wide
Hues of orange speckled with pinks and yellows
Underneath an open sky
You live here in the light
While I place shades upon the bridge of my nose
To block the blinding light
And live amongst the shadows
