Her pupils wide, with hungry eyes.
And in this contrast, she knew.
She was at her most powerful.

7. A Pure White Moment – Jadine Lydia

She sank deep down into the centre
of her barely beating heart,
and asked why this journey
must voyage so deep into the dark.
A pure, pickled tear
ran down her mottled skin,
her soul asked silently
when her life would begin again.
And whilst huddled in this darkness,
cradled by her heart
she found a void of vastness
to illuminate with stars.
And in this pure, white moment
of existential bliss,
she discovered that all there was
was all there ever really is.
And so from that day forward
she vowed to embrace it all,
to pickle every teardrop
and save the best for years to come.
For when it was truly time
for her to shine her light,
she would paint every teardrop
as an illuminated sky.

from – And So She Chose
