i’m no martyr in my farie way
I am no martyr in all I say
Im the artist in the middle of the night
painting the universe with delight
because through it all
I know what only I can do
paint the black stars between the light
paint the sparkle
that reflects in my families eyes
while poetry rains down
around me
all my wish’s wondering through
like intentions and blessings
burning
smoke that drifts
carrying our messages to the heavens
I glean meaning from everyday stock
I glean love from movies
cause I can’t find it around here.
sentiments that drift
like a clippership on the waves
somethings that were never meant to be
are just not happening now
I paint the universe the stars and the moon
with the delight that renders my soul pure
everything that was ever meant to be
I hold my breath in the tide
let the waves
saturate all that I never wanted
leaving me to be
who I am
who we are
today
