a light

a light from a firefly is enough

to breath constellations of stars

through bends of space

through bends of drops,

one can ear

melodies of such unending joy.

 

a light is light enough

to lighte the burn, burn off one end

and mask the other

roll off the side of the moon

to ecstacies of unending fury.

 

a light dances through space

suspends disbelief,

rolls all the dimes into one

blisses and lisses

lithesome lullabies?

 

all the lights in the sky

above the clouds

above the trees

deciduous with envy,

sloughing off patterns of waking eyes

til blankets dawn to sleep

pleated pajamas painted with butterflies

under the bowl of the sky

the naked sky

so slowly descending.

 

flutter across the sky

the naked belly

cyclopsed in time

the endless highway

seeing all eyes and nothing.

 

do not tell me the world is cruel,

only

mark this

that tis time

tis time.

... I wondered if you might look at your enjambment and punctuation; consider pace you'd like the reader to follow with eye and heart. Quick review of spelling. All these edits I make too, so not poking at you. :)

best wishes

thanks. I write fast so you're right, i can be careless.

I'm having a real problem editing on this site. Sometimes I can edit, sometimes I can't. I'm really looking at this website as a place to practice writing so sometimes I let the grammar go. If I can't catch up with my thoughts, then, I am not really writing, am I?
