Light
​
Inside, there is light.
I dance before the window
to expose just how good it
feels to enjoy.
Inside, there is warmth.
and I wish I could stoke the sun
to provide radiance to the world.
“Honey, wake up.”
Each day, we are anew.
Each day, morning eyelids flutter
like butterfly wings piercing the cocoon.
Does the caterpillar know it is destined for flight?
This morning, I am a new creation.
May I find my wings now.
