We are
Dancing ribbons
Of satin gold
A light to heaven
Radiant stairs
Ladders spanning
Angelic wanderings
Promised stars
We are
A glint spark
On Eternity’s shoe
We glow with
Secret joy until we
Clap ourselves free
Again
We are
In retreat
Yet we beckon still
To flirt with flames
Of cellophane
Which melt
Soft as flour
In our hands
We are
Sowing hopeful seeds
In tender soil
Again to plant
Such little flames
With hopes
To grow against -
The dark
We are
worth the world
and
we are
Free
