Halo Light and You - For April (Poem)



Halo-Light and You

I’d like to be like…
The light that bounces off your halo
Always with you
Just observing
Admiring
Reflecting back your glow from the ether star
I would be content
Just seeing the way you interact
With a tomato
Deep and red and round and perfect
At the market.
I would not be silent
(Halo-light seldom is)
Instead I would be especially boisterous
Attracting others to you, saying,
Hey! You gotta see her!
Isn’t she beautiful?
I would be like your personal electron
Orbiting the nucleus of You
Never too far
Happy to be
At your service.
