Shimmer by Jessie Marie
Shimmer
Jessie Marie
my shimmering heart draped in tears
drums a song behind a thorny cage
ghosts dressed in moonlight
wail against the inky black of night
sorrow is stitched into their eyes
an echo of dreams heard on the wind
I restore myself in the light of the stars
a spotlight of hope drinks me up
such a dream of being whole again

Write After: National Poetry Month with One Poem Only
Write After is a way to encourage poets to listen and write, and use National Poetry Month to highlight how listening to poetry makes us better poets. I know I write the best when I’m surrounded by beautiful poetry–it’s part of the reason I created this podcast, and I want to encourage others to share this practice. We'll get started in April. You can share to #WriteAfterOPO.
