Safe Enough

The dawn breaks The sun yawns Rays of light fall Upon the dew. It sparkles Trapping the light. It fights to be free. Others join and fall prey. Twinkling like a rare gem. It’s too much to contain. Warmth rises. The dew starts to fade. Why must this cycle repeat? My heart can only take so Much. It wants to be free again. To feel. To love. To be light. To be safe. There is only so much light To feed the love I yearn. When will it be safe enough? To not be trapped again. Others shine brightly In the dark of night. I must freeze again Waiting for the light. It’s really not fair Repeating these thoughts. I did not deserve this. I want to be enough.
