light sparks over the floor, hardwood gleaming golden - ancient wood glows new. walk downstairs, caress the banister, rings scraping along the metal. wear in the building, lovingly restoring it to its future self.

illumination, 1.2
work by candlelight. the night is too dark, too long to justify startling neon electricity. head bent over work, inches from the flame: the flame grows taller, longer. the wax burns down, and work-time is complete.
illumination, 1.1 (150)
the ocean is still, electrified with the sunlight - sublime, it hurts to look at for more than a few seconds. i'm perched on a lookout point, binoculars in hand and sunglasses slipping down my nose so i can watch the forests. from here, the water is beyond sparkling; it's alive, as if it has… Continue reading illumination, 1.1 (150)
reflect + sidewalk
moonlight reflects through the window, blindingly white against the mirror. sunlight reflects off the sidewalk, glittering and sparkling against lawns. fluorescent lights glow in the dark of night, a gap - of bright mystery.
top + light + transform
light sparkles from the top of the tower, guidance - calling me back home. time transforms into fluid, gold and purple and pink, ever-changing. top of the cliff, a lighthouse has eternity as a backdrop. (home)

a small piece of light stolen from the sky and used as pretend sunlight. ----- draped in silken scarf and throwing the colour to tint the entire room. ----- do not pretend that its presence gives clarity: light is a false friend.
The Candle
The rasp of the match on paper is something I've learned with years of practice: angling my wrist and holding the match just so. It takes a moment - the candle is new, the wick hasn't yet been broken in - before the flame catches. It's tiny at first, quickly heightening as it traverses the length of… Continue reading The Candle
Just Thursday Blog Hop: Night Lights
The room is silent, few people trickling in to dine late and others leaving. The light glimmers over the tiled floor, softened and giving a quiet glow to the room. I can't tell what time of day it is - the lights are bright enough that I'd be tricked into thinking it day, if I… Continue reading Just Thursday Blog Hop: Night Lights
