Shared Light
Some things should be shared.
Shared light brings warmth.

A lantern with dim glow
Draws the soul with only light
Its glass case open
ππ―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈβ¨π―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈπππ―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈβ¨π―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈπ
The flame turns within
Enwraps the spirit to warm
Takes what it should give
ππ―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈβ¨π―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈπππ―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈβ¨π―οΈπ―οΈπ―οΈπ
Cold hands pass the light
Pale glass once cracked now mended
Warmth found in shared love.

Where's the Glory?
In breaking news, rehabilitated Republican Senator Johnnie Johnson (Pronouns: HE, HIM, HIS) called a press conference from the Menβs room of the New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, Concourse B, across from the Ignatius Reillyβs Lucky Dog stand. The Senator had just returned from a sexual reorientation rehabilitation program in Memphis, TN after being publically disgraced at a Buckeeβs Truckstop restroom soliciting sex from an undercover cop three months ago. He is a founding member of the Reformed Christians for Christ, a conservative, pro-family and ex-gay advocacy group. In the spirit of being reborn, Senator Johnson invited reporters to marvel at his plans for a major remodeling of airport bathrooms.

Sometimes we must light the way for others or they for us! Well-wrought!
Always bringing a warm perspective
This is lovely. It feels so calm and reflective.
