Happiness is as light
and fleeting as feathers
in the wind
beautiful and hard to hold
as bright stars
too high to reach
but we try anyway…
We are on fire
strive for diamonds
find them perched
on sharp horns
that cut us leaving us
skewered and bleeding
in the grass
staring at the blue sky
watching hope float by
This one’s a beauty, Dee; love the (deceptive) simplicity of this one, the ache that resonates at the end.
I love the red..peppered in the softness of the blue and clouds..subtle..magnificent..I have written down these words..they seemed to have some kind of magic..a magic you spun so beautifully..big skies back to you..Jae 🙂
