The sun sweeps across the floor
and the shadows stretch in glorious joy
to twenty feet tall.
Hidden here
I ask the shadows quietly
how it feels to be a giant
and- if I stood beside them
could I be a giant too-
larger than a thousand lives
dancing between the aisles.
I stand up and stretch myself
to my limit
arms above my head
and laugh-
laugh at the twenty foot shadow before me
laughing back.
About Me
- Molly
- I'm somewhere in my 20's, newly married to an Egyptian and learning to navigate the tricky corridor of meshing myself and my life completely into someone else and their life; although it helps immensely that he is the awesomest human being that I ever got a chance to call my own. I'm kind of obsessed with Islam, not in a stuff it down other people's throats way, but in a fuzzy-it-makes-me-happy sort of way, I go a bit nutty for palm trees, and I'm really just trying to figure out how this whole grown up life thing goes. And all in hijab.
