my light hums brightly
sanity is only a concept:
there is no quiet
no stillness
no moment when everything stops
my life is fast hurried tumultuous
even in slumber
leaving me to wonder
how to recharge
only to discover
each hurried moment
dash of child
wild blown tirade of chores
scattered incessant jumble
of my life
recharges me in ways
silence never could
like the firefly
my light hums brightly
before winking out
between danger and darkness
Excerpt
like the firefly
my light hums brightly
before winking out
between danger and darkness
