I received notification just now that another two whole months of paid account has been gifted to me by some faceless friend. I wish I knew who you were, I really do; but, until then..Thanks. This is for you, whoever you are..'Cos 'This LJ Thing' has brought me so much. So many good friends, so much back to myself.
"Weeps Like Diamonds"
She rises.
Eyes open for the first,
from amongst the ashes of the brittle shell
no longer needed.
She straightens,
as it falls from her in great, soft flakes
and shakes
her hair and sends it spinning
far and away.
No longer on her knees, she blinks
at the view from up here..
Much closer to the stars, she thinks;
so close to dreams, to Heaven, that
she weeps like diamonds.
Cleansing her at last, they run
until her skin, so newly born
into this realm
does gleam and sparkle
like her sisters'.
Circling 'round her now, in welcome,
blurring twilight's inky palette, they dance;
they wink and twinkle,
calling her to play..
Without a backwards glance, she joins them
in their free and blissful flight,
forever now
a part of nighttime's endless landscape --
wishes spilled
across the sky..
