fairy boat

A Letter -

Close your eyes, so that you can see it-

If you were a little orb of light

dancing, flitting around; needing to be free

I’d take a moment to hold your warmth and goodness close to me-

before placing you on a miniature boat that I crafted from leaves.

Then I’d fill up my chest with all of this expanding love,

and with one last, long, longing exhale

push you from the wet sand, out into the open sea

and find peace in the feeling of never knowing whether you’ll float back to me.
