Paper Lantern

Paper Lantern


I will
Exist for
You
Paper Lantern
Set out
Just as lit
Like sun to sea
Spin reality
Just as light
Colour
In fragility
Bright
On fire
Within knee
Like wave
Within shore
You lift me
Rise like
Sudden life
Let
In
Close the door
I exist
For you
And nothing more

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
