Child
Who is
Reflected
On the water
Bares her soul aloud
In the silence of night
As barren trees listen, watch
Her attention lies far away
Scattered thoughts unleash a roaring din
She wonders if the birds can hear them, too

Colleen’s poetry challenge for this week is synonyms only!  Her two words are End and Hurry.  Check out Colleen’s blog to find which forms of poetry are acceptable for this challenge.  Have fun!

Written as a Double Etheree, my synonyms are Fragment and Bustle.


A
Crystal
Flurries down
Rushing to meet
A man made of white.
Top hat upon his head
Eyes of coal, a carrot nose,
Mittened hands, endless snowball fights
Days of youth, returning within us.
The bustle of the holiday season.
The coming together of family,
Dearest to our hearts, celebrating
A thankfulness, many blessings
Each one, a mere fragment, of
Years gone by, call to mind
All who have gathered
Bringing with them
Tidings of
Great joy,
Love

Drawing new life, from the universe
I remove the madness, end the curse

Shine, in my own spiritual light
Earth below me, a glorious sight

Sends up fire, to brighten the dark
In my soul, ever creating, a spark

A flare in the sky, exploding with power
This is my one, though not, final hour

To make good, for all I have sinned
My life, total chaos, the perfect whirlwind

Now calms, with the stars, sparkling bright
Transcending my thoughts, deep into night

Awakened refreshed, the burden, now lifted
My reminder that God, this life, He has gifted

To me, and only me, to discover my worth
Before my life ends, tis my living rebirth

Overwhelmed by simple tasks
What is this I have become?
Sadness, behind my smiling mask
Truth is… I am feeling numb

Emotional, at the slightest change
Tears flow, and for no reason
Even to myself, I feel quite strange
Perhaps, it is that time of season

Where leaves once painted the trees
Now they lay, lifeless and brown
I watched them whirl, in the breeze
On their way, swiftly, falling down

I can relate to the leaves, you see
I’ve spiraled with them, for so long
Much like a twister, roaming free
Yet, unknowing if I truly belong

I carved myself a window

Chiseled away the hardened earth

Just in time to catch the light

Of a fiery sun’s rebirth

Orange painted clouds rejoiced

As the rays chased away the night

Flocks of feathered creatures

Took off, on a journey, aflight

As for me, I sat in awe and wonder

Watching, as day took its place

And colored my eyes with majesty

All this, through my own little space
