Horizons

You bring ineffable beauty

into a world that has never known it before.

You bring infinite love

into a world whose hatred seeps through

every crack in the unending turmoil.

You bring infatuating joy

into the life that needed hope’s sweet touch

to pry open the heart’s shuttered windows

and draw laughter’s tattoo over the scarring.

You bring inescapable light

into the world plunged into darkness

for when the sun jumps ship on us,

you are every other star still shining

like you see tomorrow dancing on the horizon.

And even if I’m sitting all alone in my bedroom

screaming at the voices in my own head- shush!

something about you means life’s worth living.
