Such Sentiments

Play the song as you read the poem

By Rowan Finley Published 2 years ago 1 min read
RIOPY - I Love You [Studio Session] - YouTube

Zephyr took me firmly by the hand,

swirling motion and sooty sand,

lifting me higher until the ground was forgotten,

away from broken branches, ugly and rotten.

~

Higher, higher... stomach flipping out,

unsure journey, and steady route,

callipygian form waving,

away, away... as to never be staying.

~

Lustrously robust and wonderfully fragile,

of His eye, the apple,

shredded, but finally, freedom sweet,

shining grinning prize, enveloping embrace upbeat.

~

Alas, flying high, to final destination,

or perchance not, with steady hesitation,

even as I fall back down in altered fragments,

as I am a leaf, destined to weather such sentiments.

    This was floaty and fierce! Who knew sand and sentiment could tango like that?
