Refracted Connection

You turn to crystal when I shine my light on you.

Not just reflecting, but refracting.

Splitting rays into every color of the spectrum.

Please stay,

you make my days less gray.

Your sunshine shines and pierces through my rain.

We share thoughts, alike and exact.

A glance, a word, ideas extracted without delay.

But will that make us bored one day?

You soothe my sores,

quiet the chaos at my core.

The silence between us is calm, fulfilling.

A stillness so peaceful,

this feeling fills the spaces I didn’t know were empty.

I’ve lived through violence and sin,

But you brought peace and silence to the beast within.
