doubt

what if 

he has

seen 

her

and me?

what would you have me say 
or do 
for you?

when i am more vulnerable 
and fragile 
than you? 

nature’s mirror

i am not pretty 

i have always known it,

but when i stand surrounded 

by warm sunlight 

by drifting fireflies 

then evening’s moonlight 

beneath the array of starlight,

there is so much more here

against my skin

a light from within 

weighted and meaningful…
