To you, Unknown by Nicole Barth [7/28/15]

I am tranquil in the realm
of infinite possibilities;
in the expanse of you. Of me.

I will find your soul
in the lullaby night.

I will not fear
the crumbled earth.

For you and I will be the same;
drifting in concentric circles.

Here and Now by Nicole Barth [7/17/15]

I live in spirals of violet and flashes of gold,
in refracted light through stained glass.

Ichor in my veins;
drums beating in my bones,
I expunged doubt
plaguing my trembling hands.

I am a California wildfire,
fearless in the summer night.
