BEFORE I TURNED OFF THE LIGHT

Published on 25 February 2024 at 18:24

I Love You

I fell into a dream.

 

An ancient pine bent down,

enfolding me

in prickly limbs

then he began to speak

 

“There is a progression

stop struggling

stand still

life is enough

to make you bleed

 

It doesn’t matter that it’s dark

or that your center is falling apart

You stand on the edge

with your golden thread

 

I give you my spirit

so that you will feel

what I feel

so that you will cry

as I have cried

so that you will know

the depths of your heart

and you will clearly see

what now is required of thee.”
