Ruled rays push through
the shade and shades of home,
painting with geometric shapes
shards of divided sun.

With lines like verses
and basins to dip in,
the light decorates and divides
and invites me to play.

We slip through prisms
between colors alongside none,
finding shining members of my mind
that broke through heavy shadows.

By this morning
there are no limits on shape or play,
as dark edges of fears and feelings
give way to dancing rays.
