Uncracking the shell

       Swirling rainbows pulling down the
darkness.  Hiding the unclear and
swaying in the dreamy wind.

      Oh boy how the wave found deep
inside seems so brilliant.  The sighs
that unfold and curl into bubbles
loving the sunlight.

      I smile as the day kisses the dusk.
Hugging myself I echo the silence with
a soft breath.  So gentle are the sparkles
inside my stormy eyes.

     One clear dance as the moon lights
up the cooling sky.  I giggle as the day
serenades the night.  Oh how I close
my eyes.  Imagining the stars glimmering
in the navy blue highlights.

     I lean into the air.  Feeling the
cool breeze comforting me.  Here,  I hold
onto the dreams and hopes.  Releasing
the rushed day into the carefree wind.

    A small gasp as to how fast the
relaxation becomes.  A soft hello to
a sweet memory. One that brings a shy
girl out of a hard,  darkened shell.

    Drawing.  Crossing amazing
boundaries.  One moment found.  The
exhale is sought and expressed.  The
night folds around me as the breath
if thanksgiving is held to Jehovah.
A peace. A calm.

    Gentle are the hopes. Kind are
the memories and loving are the
reminders.

     I smile,  walking back into my
apartment.
