if I glow this spark and breathe becoming

Posted on July 11, 2012 by Susan L Daniels

if I glow this spark and breathe becoming
it is this wildness that rises
from the hidden side of my heart
silent even to itself until it stirs awake
and murmurs lit whispers in blood

past time for blooming

this self sings open
lips brushed by fire

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    “Past time for blooming.”

    I like the way this line is so very ambiguous and either illuminates or clouds everything else. Delicious.
