from The Endless Repetition of an Ordinary Miracle by Poet Laureate of South Carolina, Marjory Wentworth.
WHAT SHINES
Tears falling that no one sees
familiar voices
voices you love and the bells
ringing at the end of day
seedlings
sprouting on the windowsill
the future
fish scales
iced braches
after the storm
a choir
cloud covered stars
everyone's soul
white candles glowing
at the church entrance
desire
unspent
coins in a saucer
hair filled with sunlight
or water
what the diamond means
