LIGHT BREAKS THROUGH

  The weight of the sun bows

  over you, a heavy taskmaster

  it seems. Burns through

  The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  your delicate petals, shines through

  skin as though it isn’t there.

  Your friends nestle deeper into

  the darkness of the living green,

  seeking shelter from the one thing

  that always gives them burning,

  shimmering life.
