You who are light
shining in the darkest hours
waiting in the window like a beautiful beacon,
knowing you will be there
when we arrive.
Voices and hearts afar know truth,
as they dive beneath the surface of souls
to see what lies beneath
we carry each other through
good days and not so good,
we light the way in love.
So many gather here
in this place of imagination,
where all is possible and dreams thrive
because we craft ourselves out of purity
and in doing so gather together
the tribe of like selves
who see what many cannot,
who inspire those we may never meet.
I feel at peace here today
and for those who wear their painted caps
in shades to make the moments pop,
and those whose voices are heard between lines,
those who quietly inspire who’ve slipped away
through the passages of time,
I think of you all on this grey raining day,
knowing the sun will shine again another day
but until then I am content in the arms
of the world I dwell in,
blessed truly, for each of you who spin in orbit
around my universal world.

Words to all of my WP family, reading so many words and loving acts (Lady G) and to those who need a friend to help them through tough times, you know who you are and I hope you know that every day, you’re in my thoughts and heart. No words can convey my deepest thanks for those who found me, stick by me, and dwell in kindness and love.
Peace and blessings to all,
Kim
