she is library-hearted.
 
beneath her vault,
in gentle arcs, totemic words
dance
 
upon sacred;

 

she kneels between lines of a sighted page-
the kind that sees further
than self,
 
the kind that writes earth,
knits solid soil between us;

 

a candlelit wind
to carry
light to every lung
 
to fill us clear of suffocation,

of dark voices and empty spaces.

 

 

 

 

she grants us breath

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author notes

She has done more for my esteem than might ever be apparent. There are not words beautiful enough to settle that truth.

    You have touched tenderly on Swanee's compassion and grace, with a Loving trace of understanding, commanding attention to values, invested, tested, and true. Swanee sees true, through you...

    Sighhh...If you only knew how much these incredible words mean to me, especially on this particular day...I cannot tell you what silvery wings you have gifted me with, dear Scribe. This is not only beautiful, it was also done with such impeccable timing. Good luck in Nicky's contest, Sweetie. Now...go forth & publish already, will ya, huh???

    beautiful words..

    I love the way this uplifts without seeming as if it's trying to..
    Some things come straight from that place ..and this feels like one of those..

    I think it's the library heart ( that is sooooo sooooo enviable lol )
    This is so very very much swanee and yes, she's done amazing things for mine too, though I am struggling to find the words.


    the only thing I found myself wanting to do was place dance with upon sacred.
