I left you for the water
and the air
that I need
I left you for the smiles
and the sanity
I found a small sea shell
in the remains of the hurricane
beautiful and broken
I found myself in
the coldest months of winter
curled up, and she,
she was there to tell me
no, you are beautiful,
keep yourself warm,
you can come inside anytime.
I found a steady hand,
in my pocket,
holding what I gave away
somewhere inside,
our minds
saying, we will ride roller coasters
and we will
be
okay.
I really liked this poem. It has a really good tone to it.
ReplyDeleteThe line 'I found a small sea shell in the remains of a hurricane' is beautiful.
Keep it up
This one is so sad, but then hope rises up! Love it! Shirley Filer
