#npmoverlooked - Hello Poetry

I watched a bird dart through the undergrowth Only to stop and feed its baby Which was lying on the ground A mere three feet away from me Blending in with the gray pine cones And it reminded me of all the things We do not notice when we forget To just be still

Be Still

I watched a bird dart through the undergrowth Only to stop and feed its baby Which was lying on the ground A mere three feet away from me Blending in with the gray pine cones And it reminded me of all the things We do not notice when we forget To just be still

When she answered I am fine Her voice cracked But no one noticed When she said I am okay She faked a smile But no one noticed When she told you I can do this You didn't noticed The tears she tried to hide Is she that good at pretending Or does anyone really cares?

Unnoticed

When she answered I am fine Her voice cracked But no one noticed When she said I am okay She faked a smile But no one noticed When she told you I can do this You didn't noticed The tears she tried to hide Is she that good at pretending Or does anyone really cares?

The bed wasn't made when I got back All of the sheets were tangled There were drool and sweat stains on the pillowcases She was always a part of everything All the laundry Always her favourite detergent She took it with her and I don't remember I do remember exactly how she fit on the bed with the dog and I And how she straightened things out after I left for work every day I remember exactly how she looked laying on the floor in the place where the sun snuck through the window But I didn't remember to make the bed this morning

Making the Bed

The bed wasn't made when I got back All of the sheets were tangled There were drool and sweat stains on the pillowcases She was always a part of everything All the laundry Always her favourite detergent She took it with her and I don't remember I do remember exactly how she fit on the bed with the dog and I And how she straightened things out after I left for work every day I remember exactly how she looked laying on the floor in the place where the sun snuck through the window But I didn't remember to make the bed this morning

Pppzzzzzzzzz The pan pops and sizzles As I open the creaky wooden door. Shhhhhhh The kitchen sink sings, He washes a pepper covered cutting board. The sounds never change, The routine is always the same. I count on, "How was your day?" And "what do you want to drink." Dependability, stability. One thing know at the end of the day. The plates clink as they touch the table. "Lets eat."

Dinner Sounds

Pppzzzzzzzzz The pan pops and sizzles As I open the creaky wooden door. Shhhhhhh The kitchen sink sings, He washes a pepper covered cutting board. The sounds never change, The routine is always the same. I count on, "How was your day?" And "what do you want to drink." Dependability, stability. One thing know at the end of the day. The plates clink as they touch the table. "Lets eat."

the ray of sunlight peaks through the over sized clouds, and that’s when i want to wave hello to the shining light that is calling my name. i shield my oval eyes, watch the darkness that surrounds the sunlight [ the small dust particles all around light up too, as luminous as the sun itself ] i want to run towards this crepuscular ray - this bright, shining light - that pleads for me. i’ll skip on clouds, dance till i reach my destination i’ll run up to the sky, bask in the single ray of light that is slowly fading. i’ll lie underneath its radiance, until it finally d i s a p p e a r s .
