Luminescent Lustre

A poem about the beauty of polarizing forces

Sarah Freia (she/her) is a multilingual author and actor, who has lived and studied in Paris, London, and Toronto. She recently graduated with an International B.A. in French and Hispanic Literature and a French B.Ed (Sorbonne Université/ Glendon Campus), and has continued to hone her craft by enrolling at Gotham Writers Workshop and The Second City Conservatory. Sarah is rarely seen without a coffee, or her miniature dachshund, Alphonse.

Polarized,
you and I.

We are
dusk & dawn,
dark & bright,
dream & morn,
day & night.

We are
opposing organisms
made of magnetic magic
so passionately potent
we create a cavalcade

of luminescent lustre
whenever your solar smile
winds into the cosmic core
of my celestial sphere.
