I like to keep just a pinch of stars in my pocket
So that when dusk comes I can light up the world
And all that once seemed dim
Is now showered in light

I like to keep a handful of summer rain in my boots
So that when the drought comes
I’ve got a bit of that familiar, life-bringing nectar
Like honey from my lips


The author's comments:

This piece was written in the middle of the early hours of the night. Fueled by incense and mint tea. It's about me, and how I perpetually try to cast light on other people's lives because I want other people to know it's okay. I want to make a difference.
