[poem] (I'm gonna let it shine)

[kaberett]

I will burn.
I will burn for who I am
and I will be a beacon.
I will burn with rage
and light up skies
with starfire, eye-searing
incandescence, a guiding
pillar of flame.
I will be lighthouse.
I will burn warning.
I will burn jubiliation,
firework-bursts of fierce joy.
O ye dispossessed, take heart:
I shall light for ye a path.
I shall consume.
(I shall consume the dark.)
And I will say: this
I would choose again.
I choose. I choose, and choose to burn.

Playing with a couple of ideas, more than anything else; may yet end up torn to pieces and turned into something different altogether.

You are ever a brightness <3

And I will say: this
I would choose again.
I choose. I choose, and choose to burn.

gah

There was trying to be a poem about the ways in which it is a luxury to be able to say "I would choose this again"; it seems to have ended up as this, instead.

I like this a lot.

[calissa]

I love the fierceness to this and the different types of light.

Negative marks for earworming me with the (very bouncy) childrens' hymn of the same title at 2AM.

But the way this rages off the page, oh my....

[kaberett]

HAH. Yes, that was indeed what it's titled for. :-) I got it via Guides...

Thank you so much for saying!

[birke]

Ha, I didn't get that the first time around. Now it's in my head, too. :-)

[vass]

Yes.

[birke]

Um. I say this without any punny intent, but my first reaction was: "HOT."

Also, that is a beautiful expression of the sparkly hearts + rage feeling!

[inoru_no_hoshi]

I love the imagery of this - and how it's so evocative and fierce feels. <33
