Flying into the storm

The sun sets but day only reluctantly gives ground 

Those I need are embraced by darkness before I am

So I hold to this light 

Because I know it touched them as I am unable 

But, do they read this, know that my desire seen is but the smoldering ash cone of a volcano hidden beneath the waves. 

Solar flare

The corona of the sun
Terminus line in my heart
Demarcation between the shadows of the past and the slim chance at future

always looking into the sun
Spots and after images swimming
but it trained me to see even when the
walls are washed out and I’m blind

It trained me to see with my heart instead of my eyes
