How do you feel today?

Ongoing - an excerpt and he watches me as I walk he sees me as the shadow sees the sun far away, vague rough around the edges		like sun from behind a cloud *************************** knights in shining armor wizards, hands held high in spell-binding readiness they stand guard and comfort me I have faith this blackredblueblinding hurt will fade like childhood, set aside on a dusty windowsill eclipsed by brighter days and the laughter of a boy named jordan, who calls me mom and gives me butterfly kisses, who sees the world as hopeful, and runs, smiling, into my open arms
Forces I walked into the bright sunlight and felt myself a different person - my shadow taller on the ground, my face radiant days of such subtle glory bring tears to my eyes, and stand out as rare petals on a fated rose		flying lessons *********************************** and where did you learn to fly? she learned on long rolling hills where hazes drifted, and soft winds... in darkness thick with loneliness in a whirlwind with bright waters rippling beneath her the earth circling the sun and spinning her towards the end... though it felt like she was just beginning, with her wings still wet... and she breathed deep and soared
