Bioluminescence
lights the caves and deepest waterways;
living creatures glow and thrive
in absolute darkness.

The caverns of my mind reflect
the beauty of cosmic lights and rainbows,
and I know the lights are there
even when they cannot be seen
by the likes of me.

And the milky way tasted good today.

Life at its simplest is never simple,
but we complicate it beyond reason.
Who says reason rules, anyway?

And the milky way tasted good today.

In the deepest recesses, the caverns of my mind
the thought lights were glowing and thriving today
though no one saw them, not even me.

And the milky way tasted good today.

The words of this poem become bioluminescent,
As my brain cells burn its words
The Mycelium threads,
That run through my mind,
Give of a foxfire glow.

" And the milky way tasted good today."

Indeed it does sometimes.....

I'll have what shes having.
very very cool write poetess Kacy...
loved the introspective perspective.

How about me not blaming you for everything
How about me enjoying the moment for once
How about how good it feels to finally forgive you

yes . . . a supernova for sure
YOU will never lose your brightness Kacy.

I love the milky way line.
