those colors that remain





freshness...

firefly existence


potential...

soul of many mirrors


beginnings...

strength of convictions


hold close those thoughts

that show the way

*

In those moments of solitude

the light remains


you feel the pressure

of what you’ve become


the center of your life is found

*

in quiet reminders

of those colors that remain


between the breath in

and the exhale

*

there is single touch to be made

electricity

then peace


and the final answer

is now known



Corner of My Solitude
