Glimmer
Location
How long has it been?
I forget with the flashes of light and sounds that pass through me
like rain through the clouds
five
ten years
a smile seems to mark its territory across my face
where once only nothing stood
a new mountain has erupted and broken through the brood
how long has it been
I now sit in a lightened room
I can actually feel the heat of the sun warm my core and fill me
how long has it been?
too long sitting in the shadow of me
cast down by uncertainty and fear
too long
how long no longer matters
all I need now is a chance
a glimmer
a way to express the light that has filled me
a way to let the light shine in others
how long has it been?
too long
