more light
MADELINE BLAIR
i never knew you could hold moonlight.
the lightning bugs returned the summer after dark times.
daybreak, nightlight.
less heat for the gaslight.
lighten up, babygirl.
i did it ‘til i felt lightheaded.
the unbearable lightness of being.
i feel lighter than i have in so much time.
do you need a light?
i wonder if you heard that lightning.
light upon light! Allah guides whoever He wills to His light.
i saw the light.
light is both a wave and a particle.
sending love and light.
We have sent down to you a clear light.
mo ghrá geal, my bright love, light is beaming in your smile.
the light is coming to give back everything the darkness stole.
the light is coming back to my dark brown eyes.
i’ll bring the light right back, the life too.
your light of a million suns.
no one knows how to pronounce lighght.
we say it, more light.
in my heart, mahnoor
