I want to be that light.

There are no words to describe the sensation

I get when

the sun

There are no words to describe the sensation

I get when

the sun

melts softly into my skin on a winter’s morning.

 

There are no words to describe the rush

of warmth I get when I open my blinds

and the light tumbles in.

 

There are no words to describe

how my heart sings when

I look up at the sky.

 

That feeling,

that indescribable feeling,

sensation, longing to hold that light,

for just a moment,

 

that’s the feeling I want to be. 

I want to be that light. I want it to consume me.

 

I want people to look into my eyes and feel loved

because there is an

unshakeable,

inescapable warmth

shining through them, loving them.

 

I want people to come to me

when they’re afraid,

because they know that I will

walk with them

through the darkness.

 

I will share my light.

 

I want to love

with such passion

and brilliance

it’s like I’m an exploding star,

setting the sky ablaze

every evening. 

 

Yes, I want to be that light.
