Challenge Day 21: Write a danger poem.
Through Hail and Back
When you
look at me,
your eyes
are always in wonderland-
wondering
how I Mayweathered
my last love
storm too. I’ll tell you-
it wasn’t
easy having my joy dumped
into a mudslide
that created
muddy, sorrowful
rivers on the left
and right-side
of the bridge of my nose.
Where my
water waded and waded and
waded on my
skin until they returned to
still waters
that only ran deep to
repair my cells,
tissues, and organs.
BUT
I ain’t shipwrecked
no more.
I ain’t high
and dry no more.
I ain’t broken
no more. And love
for self never
went into drought.
Nor did my
lights ever go out.
With all the
power within me,
I stayed
equipped to flash
all this "little light of mine".
I mean, I sat
through those gray skies
and studied those
gathering storm clouds.
I watched the
changing faces of his rain
drops and
everything.
They didn’t
sound right or look right
after escalading
down the left and
right-side
of the bridge of his nose.
BUT
I
forgave that tornado for rotating
and rotating
then twisting my beloved heart anyway.
I forgave that
cyclone for polluting my
ears with dangerous
lies from within
his own serial wounded winds.
I forgave that
typhoon for trying to flood
all the pieces
of love left in the keepsake of me.
I forgave that
blizzard for sleeting
on my bones,
numbing my blood,
then black
icing and frost biting my skin.
YES
Good God
almighty,
our Father
knows how to S.O.S (save our souls)!
---don't he?----won't he do it?---
NOW
All of those
clouds are dancing behind my sun.
And I ain’t
got no more rainy days.
And I ain’t
got no more stranded days.
And I ain’t
gotta seek shelter for my heart no mo'.
Because all
I got is a new rainbow
and a bright,
beautiful smile full of rays
that is willing
to shine through you to simply say,
“It's not so dangerous to fall in love again.”
