have you seen your light?
have you seen the way it
slips through the crevices
of mournful minds?
you bring the dawn in
murkiness of night
spread your weary wings
to take flight
fearless through the fire
you have left me sun-soaked
surrounded in seeds of hope

I wish for you a garden
a garden full of grace
where the earth smells sweet
hints of hollyhock and camomile
I wish for you a pair of wings
that flutter soft like baby’s heart
but fly feral through the storm
I wish for you a sun-baked sky
where rain drizzles daydreams
and clouds kiss your eyes
I wish for you an emerald stream
where fellow fairies dip their toes
with tiny tea cups
sipping slow on apricot tea
I wish for you a haven
feather landing, velveteen
rosy cheeks, pillow dreams
where it seems there
is no darkness
only light
just hold on tight
For this week’s Poetics at dVerse Poets Pub
It is my pleasure to feature “Vika Muse”, a Ukrainian digital artist, who despite the despair and chaos in her country continues to shine through her artistry. She has kindly shared her work with us as inspiration. We are hoping to share a little light between her beautiful work and our poetry. We welcome you to join in.
