A Good Little Girls Zine

Solace, Clarity

Burning brightly through the window
The sun's ray cut into space
Warming every inch 
Filling it to its brim
Crackling kindly from below 
The fire soothes space
Filling it with comfort 
Sighing in relief
A firm foundation-- the couch
Supporting soft 
surrender now
A quiet place--
 solace
A gateway-- 
serenity
Each cocoons me--
Softly floating 
down stream
Toward 
pure 
clarity.
