I wished for light

I wished for light on the eve of midnight
Offered flowers, blood, and magic for it,
at half past eleven in the heart of darkness
I wished for light, I sought, I prayed.

Beneath the open sky, I opened my heart
With a blade as sharp as goodbye,
as freshly forged as hello, as remarkable
as the constellation Leo.  I opened my heart.

I wished for light on the eve of midnight,
Beneath the open sky, my heart dispersed into a million shards
across the universe of the moon and stars,
and in it's place, the sun rose behind the western horizon.

I am water.  I am light.
