Sun-Dust
Inspired by πππππ ππππ πππ ππππ's July prompt (sunlight through old wounds)
the sun with its rays
pressing
its burning kiss
etching its marks
on my cheeks
my nose
my arms
leaving behind constellations
of memories
wounds
refusing to be
forgotten
joys
heartache
doubt
longing
uncertainty
knowing
marks I earned
A scattering of sun-dust
its light freckling me
from the inside
out
This light
that shaped & marked me
isnβt buried beneath the skin
It finds its way back out
shining through every mark
a thousand pinpricks
tiny windows
for anyone
to find me
lit from within
