Unchosen Light
written by: Yesmine Lagras
If I were the moon,
would you still turn your face
toward the scattered stars,
those distant suns who never learned to stay?
If I gave you every phase of me,
would you still search the heavens
for brighter, easier loves?
Or would you rest here,
where my light isn’t much,
and let the stars be simply stars?
A writer who lives where light meets shadow, in the quiet spaces between memory and longing. I write poetry to untangle emotions without names and prose to give voice to the stories humming beneath my skin.
