hannah-hagemann - Hello Poetry

Bird songs like ripples in the water Create a mirror reflection Foxglove white as alpine snow on the high mountain Foxglove purple-pink as a coastal winter sunset It's scientifically proven fairies live inside their blooms And when the flowers drop to the ground, they wear them as skirts! Spring bursts from every corner with a force that exclaims- no one can stop this. The dirt, the flowers, the birds, pay no regard to the peoples news. Their requirements for growth are simple: Water from the rains Sunshine bursting through clouds Nutrient rich dirt Buzzing agitation of furry bumble bees and Solitude. They can't crowd their mind with too many things, too many worries. They just grow as much as they may will... How simple. How lovely.

Sweet Foxglove

Bird songs like ripples in the water Create a mirror reflection Foxglove white as alpine snow on the high mountain Foxglove purple-pink as a coastal winter sunset It's scientifically proven fairies live inside their blooms And when the flowers drop to the ground, they wear them as skirts! Spring bursts from every corner with a force that exclaims- no one can stop this. The dirt, the flowers, the birds, pay no regard to the peoples news. Their requirements for growth are simple: Water from the rains Sunshine bursting through clouds Nutrient rich dirt Buzzing agitation of furry bumble bees and Solitude. They can't crowd their mind with too many things, too many worries. They just grow as much as they may will... How simple. How lovely.

Sandstone Medicine Teach me your lessons of resilience Towering hundreds of feet above me Iron Red-Orange Made of Earth's blood You've stood patient as rivers lashed through you trying to erode your body as tectonic force roared upward looking for something to give But here you stand Wearing your scars proudly Now they adorn you Like beautiful pieces of jewlrey Telling stories of a time long before now Sandstone Medicine Singing to me songs of resilience

In winter the clouds let out what they can't hold anymore The ground drinks it up Each water droplet percolating Nourishing what's beneath the surface Like humans, when watered properly Not too much Or too little The earth gives thanks It loves the sky right back Blooming up to the sun Saying thank you I love you.

Bloom

In winter the clouds let out what they can't hold anymore The ground drinks it up Each water droplet percolating Nourishing what's beneath the surface Like humans, when watered properly Not too much Or too little The earth gives thanks It loves the sky right back Blooming up to the sun Saying thank you I love you.

The periwinkle peach grey clouds hang Caressing the lava mountains In a good night embrace The desert still Listening to the silence Night falls The mountains dim More purple Fading Becoming Indistinguishable From the surronding hazy cloud blanket The further I am the more it becomes one One moment blending into another Becomes time Becomes feeling Becomes night And then Day.

Desert Still

The periwinkle peach grey clouds hang Caressing the lava mountains In a good night embrace The desert still Listening to the silence Night falls The mountains dim More purple Fading Becoming Indistinguishable From the surronding hazy cloud blanket The further I am the more it becomes one One moment blending into another Becomes time Becomes feeling Becomes night And then Day.

The infinity of lights made her feel infinite Safe Like all the light would drive out the dark in this glowing city One She was as vast as the vast city around her New York Chicago Seattle all or None of the above Dream World Safe Safe enough to jump Not really to jump Maybe more to fly The fear did not affect her action In her hazy dream world city She could fly she thought She places her feet on the slippery unforgiving iron Stepping Up Looking Down The fear was still not there This was not a suicidal act She wanted to jump Not so much to jump as to fly King of this concrete jungle The ***** of the heart The pulse of the hand The breathlessness The final step Shes soaring now Shes falling now flying:soaring:floating falling:flailing:breaking you won't break yourself if you believe you can't There's the confliction The child that believes she can fly The grown girl who lays broken to die Her body is broken like a cartoon Like Wile E cayote after falling off some boulder There was a whole body There was not blood guts or reality Hazy dreamworld city In this flowing capital she beams with a twisted sense of perseverance She sustains no injuries Like tripping on those uneven breaks of pavement They say you're never supposed to sleep through the falls in the falling dreams The pit of the stomach Winded Clammy Punched in the stomach Falling Dreams Yet she did Why was the fear not there? It was not in her sleep cycle not on top of the skyscraper in hazy dreamworld city She saw her broken body rise to life Why could she sleep through the fall? And the next sky scraper she fell from ...Not in hazy dreamworld city ...Would she walk away? Was she jumping from the money that built that skyscraper? Or the classic Freudian symbol, dream specialists might contend Translation of one image onto another So I was jumping away from men Commitment What's new? Spend money and time Loose friends and crime Jumping away from reality Soaring now Falling now Falling into the flowing light of the hazy dreamworld city As flies will always return to fluorescent light bulbs, naive Like if she got close enough to it She would become it She would consume it The light would consume her Illuminated The dark expelled to the smallest corners of this earth flying in this hazy dreamworld city.

Hazy Dream World City

The infinity of lights made her feel infinite Safe Like all the light would drive out the dark in this glowing city One She was as vast as the vast city around her New York Chicago Seattle all or None of the above Dream World Safe Safe enough to jump Not really to jump Maybe more to fly The fear did not affect her action In her hazy dream world city She could fly she thought She places her feet on the slippery unforgiving iron Stepping Up Looking Down The fear was still not there This was not a suicidal act She wanted to jump Not so much to jump as to fly King of this concrete jungle The ***** of the heart The pulse of the hand The breathlessness The final step Shes soaring now Shes falling now flying:soaring:floating falling:flailing:breaking you won't break yourself if you believe you can't There's the confliction The child that believes she can fly The grown girl who lays broken to die Her body is broken like a cartoon Like Wile E cayote after falling off some boulder There was a whole body There was not blood guts or reality Hazy dreamworld city In this flowing capital she beams with a twisted sense of perseverance She sustains no injuries Like tripping on those uneven breaks of pavement They say you're never supposed to sleep through the falls in the falling dreams The pit of the stomach Winded Clammy Punched in the stomach Falling Dreams Yet she did Why was the fear not there?
