Light that breaks you
Entry for the “Light breaks water” challenge
This is the gospel of stillness:
that something gentle
can also be certain.
That light, unfiltered,
still finds you.
Light does not rush,
it arrives.
Mercy is the quiet movement in the sun.
I dip a finger in,
as ripples orbit around my touch.
Drawing a line, pulling down
exposing the chest of the sea,
then tracing its lips with my fingertips.
The way it touches back, is an offering.
*
That is Forgiveness.

Instructions Included Challenge Winners
For the Instructions Included challenge, we asked writers to tell a story through instructions and to trust the form to carry what could not be said outright. Across the top entries, that trust paid off in many different ways.
