dawns early light

dawns early light

not alone

…solitary yet not alone
watching out over the sea
will you come be with me?…

not alone

midnight

…energy floats
night air envelopes
she quivered just a bit…

…getting away with it…

…skin crackles
courageous scars
whispered memories…

…stealing color –
marrow always
seeps to the surface
holding her apart…

…somedays
she had to hide –
& make herself small
so no one could see…

…how lovely
came to mind –
soft as silk  to touch…
