mellifluous

i see the light

everything around me is stained golden. the thousands of

suns i've spent my entire life admiring drown out the

stars, turning this night to day. all i want, all i've

ever wanted is to get a closer look. to reach

out and touch them, but i worry that

they will vanish against my fingertips, that the

moment i've longed for forever will end because

i came too close, turning the joy i feel into

a distant memory. but my heart

races through my chest, urging me to

extend my hand just a little bit. after all if the

sun comes to me, it's not my fault if it goes away. one floats

toward me, gliding to me like it could hear my thoughts, skimming the

surface of the lake, creating ripples begging me to

rescue them from a watery grave. and it touches my fingertips, allowing

me to push it upward to rejoin its friends shining

in the sky above. and i

swear it glowed a little brighter at my

touch, a tiny way of thanking me for saving

its life. i think i glowed a little, too. how else can i

explain the warmth that exploded through my body? besides, i was told

people tend to shine when their dreams come true. 

A/N: this is just a short little poem told from the perspective of rapunzel (yes, from tangled) during "i see the light!" specifically, it's the moment from the photo above. and i know this is really cringey, but tangled is kinda really important to me. so there. that's why i wrote this. anyway, i love you guys and i hope you enjoyed this. xoxo, winter.
