Shadows & light in the deepest cave


layer upon layer 
pearls grow white-cancer
boning every space
left empty by sea, and you

here, my words are granite



~0~0~0~0~


what the light touches
what the soil breathes under cave
become seed, forest
greening grey stones, every hurts-

 here, my heart is a bird song

    Oh, so lovely and emotive...I so enjoy the images you honed in on and the words that you've given to bring them a poetic life of your imaginings. I enjoyed this, Grace...thank you so much for joining. :)

    I love the contrast between granite words and a bird-song heart; it speaks of earnest gravity and light-hearted happiness, to me.
