This poem was inspired by the writing prompt from @in-q during a live poetry workshop on instagram. It was a 15minute exercise - and this is what came out. What's interesting is, I wasn't really a fan of this one. but that very last line has been an inspiration for 'hey you, Stay golden' and so much more. i hope you Enjoy!

beads of sweat swim to my bosom
the sun - such a foreign blessing in this modern age

i hide away
comfortable. safe.
afraid of the burn
resistant of the energy.

Master Sun displays integrity.
a promise i don’t even have to acknowledge 

it shines on
day after day
consistent strength
inevitable power


it’s reflection beams through the glass
crystallizing clarity [truth] on to my paper

it shines truth onto me

i see the sun as influence
knowing the power i hold
guilty of too often sneaking behind the clouds.

instead of walking into that connective synergy
i deflect the essence yearning for reflect

instead of embracing the heat
i steer clear from the burn

rather than seeking the light within
i allow myself to be blinded by the pure brilliance
[leading the way]

i can feel the gravitational pull.
deeper.
one that is beyond encouraging.
it brings me to tears.

“Come, my dear.”

I can hear him speak right to my soul.

“You are my creation. There is nothing you can not do.”

One. Step. Closer.

“No need to cover up anymore! I will protect you! 
Let us saturate in this bliss together! 
I am you and you are me.
I do not shine unless you shine

For you are my purpose.
And you bring me life.”

I walk into the light.

A new paradigm awaits, in reach.

"All can feel you radiate.
Gift yourself the belief of the gold you behold.”
