An Online Poet Me

I write in the blue hush

Of a screen that hums like prayer

Sending small lanterns of language

Into the endless dark

Each line is a signal

A pulse of who I am

Moving through circuits

That have never seen my face

Some nights the words rise

Like incense from my chest

Seeking a stranger

Whose spirit mirrors mine

Other nights I am only a flicker

A trembling username

Trying to stay human

In a world made of light and dark

Still

I return

Heart open

Soul unhidden

Hoping someone out there

Feels the warmth

Of the poem I release
