Poetry Friday: The Weight of the Sky by Lisa Ann Sandell

[slayground]

The light in the houses
glow with a warmth and a peace
that I had once,
that I kept in my pocket.
That I kept there
for my own
like a secret.
But now,
I think
maybe it was never mine.

- a passage from Page 267 of the verse novel The Weight of the Sky by Lisa Ann Sandell
