"...I wrote because that was who I was at the core, and if I was too damaged to walk around the block, I was lucky all the same. Once I got to my desk, once I started writing, I still believed anything was possible.”
-Alice Hoffman


Sunlight.
Golden.
Warm.
Out of reach.
I wait in shadows.
Burning.
Dark.
Hopeless.
For light is in her.
Her smile, laugh, voice.
And yet-
I cannot grasp these things.
Her smile fades, laughter stops, voice quiets.
All before I come to her.
Sunlight passes over me and I step back into shadows.
