Theia

 


“No my friend, darkness is not everywhere, for here and there 
I find faces illuminated from within; paper lanterns among the dark trees.” ― Carole Borges

In the midnight cavern

where voices smother stars

she is the lantern muse of poets

who hunger to write a path to open sky.

  8. Do you think we write better in the midnight space which I think starts just after the 10:00 news.
    I like your Carole Borges writing find, it fits her well.

  9. I read this three times just to feel it's magic. You've packed so many images into this small space, and each one chained hand to hand leads us to that path we need so badly to follow. Just lovely work, Susie.

  11. Love the almost-overwhelming dark and the path back to starlight...it's good to have even an obscure path.
