Fast Light
A lot of strange things have been going on in my life... a bit chaotic and jarring, I was happy to find myself in a better place recently, mentally and such. Anyway, here's what I wrote about it... let me know what you think.
Fast Light
Slow and soft and unexplained
this spark began its race.
Quick and fast it grew upon
the flesh that stayed in place.
Flashed on vines and bark and bones
it ripped and bit and tore.
Now dash and fly and scare away
before you fuel it more.
So fear and pain and blazing heat,
they nip upon your heels?
Better there than else, of course
you could become its meal.
Behind you now a forest burnt
but bodies breath within.
It's there, beneath the canopy,
that you will live again.
So turn to gaze and look inside,
and see the embers glow.
Their softened light presents a new,
and emptied space to grow.
