i decided to try a lil something different for this week to actually keep the blog short and sweet since my previous blog ended up being longer than intended. this week i figured i would have another go at poetry. back in elementary i loved writing poetry. it was my favorite way to write and i remember sitting with a pencil in hand and my colorful paged notebook jotting poem after poem. unfortunately it has been quite awhile since i have sat down to write a poem so here it goes.

honey, sunshine, and you

she learned that the storm is beautiful

that the rain waters the wounds

and that like flowers she too is bound to bloom

thus she dances in it

sweetened by honey that pour through her veins

she is painted yellow

as if the sun beams from her bones

and you,

you still find a way to brighten her,

to set her soul on fire

you.

you are the moon,

the balance in the atmosphere she needs.
