Shimmer With All Your Might



the shimmering begins at a distance
it is held at arms length
hovering
shivering
darting
just out of reach
just out of sight
it is nearly here and
       then
it slips through my fingers

but then it returns
to hold my hand
clasp my arm
clap onto my knee

it is here!

Suddenly the Shimmering rushes
Full force
Envelopes me all at once
Then stands at my back
Ready to pounce again
And Again
And again

until the shimmer begins to fade
until only a dull glow remains...
