lamps of God 🌙

Here in this tension there is no divide, for at the mountain there is space for ice and light to have their place. — MHN, How Far You Have Come Lamps of God by Morgan Harper Nichols, from How Far You Have Come Editor's note: Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly bestselling author Morgan Harper Nichols (All Along You Were Blooming) is well-loved in our community for her art, poetry, and essays. We've included several of Morgan's art pieces here for you to enjoy! Down in the desert plain deep in the night, the moon arrives, filling summer's evening sky. There, on the ground where dust wisps around your feet, you notice sharp, brawny leaves. Now fully blooming, the yucca flower painting herself white, flickering outward and upward, nature's candlelight. * Lamparas de Dios — Lamps of God, some say — for during the day, she tucks her petals to hide from the heat, but under evening's brow, she sighs and peeks out, tender and free to shine ever-so brightly when you thought she'd be asleep. Come alive, come alive, deep into the night, come and dance and wave and stretch under the moon's loving gaze. You stand at the base of the mountain, cold air swipes the bridge of your nose. High above, in October, it snows, and at the same time, from where you stand, autumn burns the leaves orange and yellow. Here in this tension there is no divide, for at the mountain there is space for ice and light to have their place.   *   It is hard to notice beauty on the rain-shadow side of the mountain. You are thirsty for a spring, even a hint of morning dew, but you are overwhelmed by the desert that feels like nothingness unraveling endlessly inside you. Look long, look slow, the shadows before you will start to grow forward.   *   There is more ahead of you that you have yet to know. The range of the mesas rise up in the distance. Their song is in a different tongue than the mountains you once knew, but oh, how beautiful their sound. Do not be afraid of your voice.
