tokens

so tired of
chasing the light
that i so easily give
smothered by the fight
the refusal to let go
and for my light only
to live
draining me
with darkness
hiding in a world
--i am only given glimpses--
those tokens
so tarnished
by the moods so swift
they shift
unfurled
smack into my
infinite swirl

and still i am not dark
for there is no space
safe
enough in me
to stay down
with you and yours
