Life N the Living
Life n the Living
.by Heather Jacobs on Wednesday, 11 January 2012 at 11:03.You are feathers
delicate bone structure
and distinct songs
that you sing as though
your last breath
has been drawn
to bring beauty
into a world with none
You are oxygen:
every breath that
drips into existence from
the cavities of a
wordless mouth:
the silent exhalations of
“I am alive.”
You are rays of light
through storm clouds
you are the sunshine
I wish I could be
where you walk
nature will grow
Mother Earth thrives
in your afterglow
You are skin:
fleshy covering for a
frozen soul – masking
my internal bruises with
soft, pure blankets,
leaving not a trace
of the scars that once
marked my heart.
