mandala






you've gone
from a candle
and its secret
wishes

to fast-paced
fibers of
electricity

like a diary
that turns to
poetry

everything else
that means more
before phrasing

expands
inside you

as you add beads
to the necklace

glass becomes
an industrial
diamond

and the
emphasis
is up
to you

you who do
both

the flames &
the melting

    I really love this poem - it is a kickass birthday poem and I hope that it was enjoyed! The ending was my favorite part of this by far - but the rest was still outstanding love it!

    Keep writing
