blessing

    Another quiet week. Work is busier than normal (we just began a project of unimaginable proportions, really out of hand) and I've had precious little time to think, much less write. But I think that's going to change.
    I feel like I've been given a gift. Something has opened up to me. A sort of opportunity, I guess, though that doesn't quite explain it. A blessing, maybe, for lack of a better word. A second chance, of sorts, though also entirely new.
    No matter what happens, I know I'll be writing.

In your light I learn how to love.
In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest,
where no one sees you,
but sometimes I do,
and that sight becomes this art.
