What it means to me to write

stained glass windows tell a story
concentrate shafts of coloured light
onto hidden secrets in dusty corners
of the inner sanctum of my mind space.

shafts of light illuminate the silence
of this placid soul.

give her a voice.
let the raidiance tell a story.

in this place filled with silence
and with warmth -
there is so much warmth!

these glowing embers...
Something was ablaze.

What is it?
Give it form
Bleed it out if you must
onto this paper

so that those on the other side
of the stained glass window
May also see the light.
