there will reach a time.
where you will find yourself.
sitting. in the sun.
lost. in the sky.
and you will think back.
to this moment.
when it was dark.
and cold.
and the good
felt
so far
// hudson biko

by Hudson Biko
look at the way the sun glimmers
through the gallery of the sky.
seeks you.
behind rugged corners
and open wounds.
sees you.
in all the fierce
and subtle ways
you break through
// hudson biko
settle
where the wind
calms.
and your breath
is light
// hudsonbiko
marvel at the flowers
wither.
and remember
the beauty.
in your falter
// hudson biko
the sun lingers
between the branches.
holds the spaces
vacated by the silence
of the leaves.
it is all so bare.
and so full.
a light.
so bright.
reduced
to shadows.
