A Line Storm Melody

HannahElisabeth


Notice of absence from HannahElisabeth
Taking a long overdue mental health vacation. I will check in when I can.

 

Your weary soles are worn down

I see you are no stranger

To wandering the labyrinth

Of hell’s cold, empty chambers

So come and still

Your restless mind

Come soothe away the burns

From missteps of the past

I know

We both incurred

Let the lilting melody

Bring you back

Into the present

Leave the pain

And hurt behind

If only

For a moment

I’ll sing for you

Like summer rain

Tin rooftops

Early morning grey

Cleansed by rain

With every storm

It offers new beginnings

For life to grow and flourish

And in nature,

Find our healing

Wild as we might be

We are no easily shattered rose

And though

We might have piercing thorns

Instead,

It’s love we chose

So come forth,

Into the storm with me

And wash away the pain

Carried by the melody

Come and love me,

In the rain.

  • Heart of Babel

    This one is very beautiful to me, it actually plucked at those heavy strings of my heart a bit. A splendid write, well done!

    • HannahElisabeth

      I always did love playing string instruments, happy to hear it struck a chord. Thank you for the compliment!

    • Doggerel Dave

      Like this. Imbues a feeling of peaceful hope, free of controversy….
      Enjoy Robert Frost very much, although I incline to his narrative works slightly more I think.

      • HannahElisabeth

        A much needed reprieve for sure. I credit Robert Frost for falling in love with poetry in the first place, seemed fitting to pay him homage eventually. I'm happy to hear you liked it 🙂

      • Saxon Crow

        Wow Hannah. Pure poetry in practice. I love this.

        • HannahElisabeth

          Thank you so very much for such kind words!

        • L. B. Mek

          poetic sincerity flowing freely
          with practised ease
          this is such an intriguing read,
          thanks for sharing, dear poet

          • HannahElisabeth

            And thank you for stopping by and taking the time to comment

          • SureshG

            I thus thank Frost for giving you the final inspiration for putting together a romantically soaked poetic piece to enrich our memories

            • HannahElisabeth

              Your words are too kind, thank you
