I've been
hiding in a tree
on a branch
which understands sadness
I like the
rain the most when it
gently
kisses the skin
so the
roots can grow peacefully
it takes
time and wrong decisions to find home
a place
where your heart will glow
lately, the
rain came pouring down
and all I
want to do is run, run away
scream at
the top of my lungs
as if
another storm is coming
this time,
coming from within
treading in
flood I turn around and think
is this the
life I'm supposed to be living?

All the different things we see...feel.
Nice introspective poem
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Natasa - get the feeling this one cam estrange and fast to you - as the best ones often do. Love the tender melancholy here, artfully conveyed and your first five lines are just great:
ReplyDelete"I've been hiding in a tree

Goodness Gracious! Those first two lines are amazing... and then the rest of the poem rises up to met them. Lovely write.
ReplyDeleteWow! That was unexpected, I know the feeling, but when it is unexpected than you know you are right in it! That's life! You could never dream it, or write it, real life touches your soul.
ReplyDeleteAutumn is my favorite time of year, despite the allergies I always suffer, until first snow.
ReplyDeleteA tree is very understanding as it has been through many storms..the ending line really caps off the poem..well done..
ReplyDeleteI feel the treading in flood.
ReplyDeleteI like the Perfect Storm feel to this piece - treading water alone. And the line, "it takes time and wrong decisions to find home." I sometimes find myself wondering just how many mistakes it takes.
ReplyDeleteI completely enjoy the view as well from the tops of trees! Lovely prose.
