All Things Of Light By(Mimi M. Meyer) Poem by Mimi Mata

What if my world suddenly changed?
A heart beneath sand and stone,
Beating to grasp those lost gems;
The beautiful circumstance of my final being...
And deeper I somehow know.

The moon is with the stars
And I couldn't wish to prolong all things of light,
Because the reality is that would be
Wishing away the newness of life itself...
These are notions only a dreamer
Can embrace without the relentlessness of casualties.

So then if you hold me,
Then decide to let me go.
Remember that my world will only change
To conquer those last sparks
That go off to either evade beautifully; or burn...
It is not up to me what your world
Makes up of its keepsakes.

I will always be that little dreamer,
You see for when the ocean sleeps;
A stream still goes on
The beautiful circumstance of my being
At times will singe and seemingly die...
This is the ash that decomposes
Into the flowering of the earth.
Like how a petal does not sacrifice its luster
In exchange for death;
Only for a new spring...

you see for if my world suddenly changed
It is the dew on a new thorn
And the revelation to know not to wish
To prolong all things of light
For, ah, in that very darkness
It is the brightest that, that light flickers...
Like how a child adores their own shadow
And somehow subliminally this outline
Allows them to know that they exist.

So then if my world suddenly changed
Deeper I somehow know;
I couldn't wish to prolong all things of light...
The beautiful circumstance of my final being somehow knows.
