Poem Commentary

Wrote it about my friend who died whilst at poetry camp with my BFF!!!

Spiritual Matrimony

Before the year calms down

I hope you’re waiting

With the strength

To cry alone.

It might hurt

But you’ll survive

Just breathe in hope

Invite the oxygen.

It’s all up to you

To plant your feet

As the ground takes root

Claims you as its own.

No need for a preacher

In spiritual matrimony

Just spread your arms out

Let it happen.

Inhale the leaves

As they sprout from your fingertips

And music plays

From the roots of your soul…

Swaying to the rhythm

Of a new life

Giving you the chance

To live yours once again.

Lift your branches higher

As bark thickens

Roots take root

Fighting for the core

Where no one can deny you

Just carve their love

Into your new skin

Making you a symbol

In a place where even I

Could love you forever

Holding onto you

Protected by your shade.

So, until the sun burns out

Drink the vile the sea provides

You won’t die alone

Like you thought you would

Wow...usually it's hard for me to get through free verse, but this was easy and amazing to read. You're a powerful writer and I thought "Fingertips" was a unique poem. Great writes :)

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.
