YELLOW LIGHT

 

there is a tiny spark

of little yellow light

inside me that says it wants me to hold her

 

and when I do

she unwraps herself

she loosens the wrappings

 

the wrappings fall away and 

reveal inside a gentle and brilliant light

 

I realize there is no way I can hide this light

and then I realize

this is exactly what she wanted

 

so now this yellow light

keeps squeaking out

little bits here and there

when I am not looking

- yikes -

 

and yet

a song sings itself in me

hide it 

under a bushel

no!
