myself

there’s something about
dust floating in a slant of light in a dark room
which haunts me

there’s something tragic
in the way the specks of nothing
are illuminated

maybe
it
reminds
me
of
myself

Frieta

Loving arms and a heart as strong as steel
You’ve taught me never to be afraid to feel
You’re like fire in the cold or an umbrella in the rain
You’ve shown me there’s more in life than pain
You’re a lantern in a cavern, a lighthouse in the bay
Things may not be perfect, but with you that’s OK
And like the earth has the moon and the shore has the sea
I’ll always have you and you’ll always have me
