How Do I Shine Forward? 

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , on September 20, 2026| 1 Comment »


 
 
Sometimes it needs to be very dark
before I can remember 
I carry the sunrise inside me—
more blushing suggestion of light
than real brightness, 
almost shy in its tenderness, 
as if knows this palest pink is all 
the light I am capable of meeting right now.
By noon, I could almost forget

two times with the same lover.
 
May the sunrise always remind me
to fall in love again with the world.
Every morning may I know the choice
to open the heart and see myself
as the world.

the sun comes
tomorrow we will
not be the same
people we were
when we met
the sun this morning.
Each revolution
a revolution.
