Do not go away,
\nshadow that needs a flower.
\nI have meadows in me.
\nEven in the rain
\nthere are white vines of lightning.
\nWhen the snow comes,
\nthe deep blue of the sky plants lilies.
\nThere is always something
\nto give you a place,
\nto fill your arms and long body.
\nYou are the breath of my eyes.<\/p>\n
Shadow,
\ngive me the black flame of myself.
\nThe place where I am.
\nWithout you there would be
\nno coming into my soul,
\nno reach of longing
\nswimming in time,
\nspace where stars gather,
\nand I become one
\nwith light and darkness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
