There’s a luminosity in you

That I’ve never really noticed before. 

It flickers on and off

As I lose touch with it often

But when I come back

To that place in my heart

You don’t need to be different

Or believe what I believe

Nah, 

You’re exactly awesome, 

Just the way that you are. 

The luminosity disappears

When I start to look for it. 

But it’s sometimes there,

Prior to me remembering to look. 

The only commonality

Is me forgetting about my Self for a minute. 

Here’s to that happening more often.

The Light that Flickers
