After the Last Dark Cloud Rolls By

After the last dark cloud rolls by
there is a stillness.
And the light, because it is
weightless, is perfect.

Your heart swells beneath this sky.
It erupts at random from beneath your skin—
each new freckle, a fire.

It is possible, that tonight
you will glow in the dark.

And no matter the moon
no matter the stars

the path before you will be lit.
