There are so many thoughts swimming around in my head,
I thought I'd put them down into words instead
of keeping them cooped up in this mind of mine,
where they do twists and somersaults and dances all the time.
So here they are, splattered on the page,
a few scraps of light and heart for the day.
For 31 days, I'm going to try and paint,
the images I see, without restraint.

Day 1: Held

Held
It’s the strangest sensation, when you hold me in your arms,
When I’m wrapped by your body, protected from harm.
You’re like a shield of sorts, an invisibility cloak,
A mithril vest, a true silver coat.
With the resistance of diamonds and the strength of steel,
Yet the weight of a snowflake is all that I feel.
The freedom of a feather, dancing in the wind,
The possibility of an eagle, that soars again,
The power of a hummingbird and the force of its wings,
Keep the beat of my heart, and the rhythm I sing.
The sky is mine, the clouds my bed,
rain my drink, and the sun my friend.
Cackling and sparking my heart is ablaze,
But my spirit is calmed by the peace in your gaze.
Like fire and water, like coals and ice,
You empower me and calm me with the truth in your eyes.
