starlight

For the Lantern Light Challenge!

By angela hepworthPublished 12 months ago • 1 min read

there is a quiet house that glows in the night all across the world

and you can see it if you squint—those large, golden windows, pretty firelight lanterns flickering beyond the panes

even as the rest of the world sits back in the dusk, dancing in the sightless night,

this house will shine; this house has been made a home for light in the dark

and all who make a home within the glowing house basked in orange lantern light will be warmed by its embrace

they will be beyond belonging, smiling at the shadows, crawling across the moon

splayed against the sky like starlight itself
