Flying Away: Favorites

Oct 2016 Flying Away

Ezre Holland

Dear Future Ez,

kind, calm, gentle Ez,
look back at the way you are feeling
right now,
on this empty train with your headphones in,
no care for anything else.
Now take that feeling and swallow it so it can flow to your heart.

Life is good.
Life is hard,
Life will always be hard Ez,
But it's not like you don't know that already,
Embrace it.
But know...

He would be proud.
So proud of you,
of big, old, kind Ez.

He is here. Here.

There are people who love you, Ez, let them love you.

Be careful, be safe, be proud.

Because Life is great.

Moment.

Moment.

Give me two seconds of your day
because I love to just look at you,
even if it's just for one moment
and when you look back, I hope that you
look at me and feel the same thing.

Give me two minutes of your day,
To read this poem and realise
I'm not good with words.
To show you that my definition of the word 'world' begins with you.

Give me two hours of your day
So we can talk endlessly,
With a coffee on the table that's turned cold
Because your voice is my distraction.

Give me two seconds of your day
To smile and stare at you and cherish you,
As though every dream I've had since you is a supernova amongst a dark void of black holes.

healing

healing

I keep planting
My hands in the dirt.
Keeping the weeds clear-
Making the garden grow.
Repeating the thought that
There is healing there
Maybe even for me.
I never wanted to be buried
Under ground.
I have already known
Too much darkness.
But there are days
When I have to wonder
If I planted this old set
Of creaking bones--
Would something more beautiful grow?

Lonely not alone

Lonely not alone

My sadness lives inside me
Carving out a home
It cannot find another
At least I'm not alone
Follows me like a shadow
It's very own entity
We always rejoin each other
Like the tide returns to sea

The Earth

I am green and wild
You are blue and vague
And together
We make the earth.

Farther

You are my Father,
but
time moves on,
You were my Father
but
as time moves on,
You are moving Farther.

If you are there,
you 'almighty being',
listen with care.
You went and took him from me,
like he was **** on your shoe,
I just want you to know.
