I am

Irridescent

Independently indecisive;

Resembling city streets after winter rain,

I innocently dance from blue leap to teal chasse to lilac and spiral up from

- silver.

Daring to exchange truth for glamour and letting my imagination fly

Encouraged by dreams anchored in reality yet swept away by magical alterations of my mind.

- alterations of my mind.

Subtle pulses of prayer and salvation propel me past prussian rifts and chartreuse vines

chartreuse vines

Christening me something sweet and free and shedding speckles

embodying fear - silence - pain

Empowering me to empty my shadows and then holding me near when I

reach out again.

Naturally contained chaos pulling copper out of shadows and changing it

into summer gold,

Tantalizing sleepless emotions elevated past relief and revealing secrets the

stars can’t help but hold.

Complimentary shades of illuminated life, carefully wild and tamed;

tinted chapters of free

Muted ombres of exhausted despair overlaid with neon highlights of

saved loved here
