Breaking Through
June 26, 2014
It feels like summer.
Sun rays suffocating,
trying to break through
black wings
like a crow’s I do bear.
But beneath the surface,
petals, blue velvet
reaches up
as sun rays inhale.
Blue and yellow embrace
into green.
If only color could
overtake the darkness,
fill the empty spaces
in my soul.
Yet there are so many rays,
so many
that I could sit here
forever,
light puddling
at my feet
till it breaks through
the surface.
And maybe someday
I can drop
my black wings
and fly
without.
