Oh Venessa, your poem, so visceral to the senses! Reading it felt like an unscripted rhythm, a euphoric word-dance off my tongue. It was as ironic as it was paradoxical. The light that shimmers across skyscrapers is the very light shining in and through us each time we choose to see life instead of rushing through it.

Willynn, thank you so much for such a beautiful response ♡ you’ve reminded me that the windows of buildings at sunset look like shimmering gold in the distance and is one of my favorite views.
