We are a fire of unfamiliarity
jumping into the night, an abandonment
of reason, a run through what-ifs
oranges seared in retinas
yellows molted on tongues
a language to be discovered
on our journey through hard times
or joyful bursting hearts
instinctual and primal
because we are atoms and molecules
and the stuff that makes up life
struggling, yearning, learning
keeping the embers alive

love this!
perfect timing – I’m browsing old journals and reading poems by others that I love. Now I’ll have yours. 🙂
