More Than...

Once Upon

By Colleen WaltersPublished about a month ago 1 min read

No flames

just warmth and words

burned onto my heart

etched with intent

no glowing embers

just truth in hope

whispered maybes

secretly scarred souls

beautifully

meeting

indelible stain

brilliant

plain

iridescent

splash

kaleidoscopic

quiet

intoxicating

fierce

deep

frightening

my wandering

star

almost

home

fire breathing

heart

strings dangle

from a velvet

midnight sky.

    I felt this in my ankle bones! Some connections don’t arrive with fireworks—they arrive with a quiet gravity that pulls you home before you even know you’re moving. And that’s exactly the magic this piece whispers.💖
