Searching For Home

by Hannah Lizette   May 15, 2013


May balances between
an array of jaune sunrises
and wine hazed valleys;

thirty-one days of
wanderlust -
searching for yourself
in the middle of nowhere.

Dead-end roads
loop-de-loop around time,
hours howl at minutes
while minutes soothe
seconds -
infinity always wins.

Fluttering eyelids
remind themselves that
troubles are wrapped
in dreams.

Within thirty-one days
of looping between jaune
sunrises and wine valleys,
eyelids pointed across
the sky-way and finally
found home -
the starting point of any
dream.

*club challenge.

    Now Hannah,
    I really think this piece, it had such a poignant story to it, and it reminded me of myself, which through me because when I first read this, I thought it was good, and was pleased that it won the challenge, and remember reading it and thinking "There's something here" but I didn't really know what, and now on reading this again, what I couldn't grasp then, was the story and the imagery, it really did feel like I was within these lines somewhere.

    May is one of those months, especially here in the UK, where spring has come but winter still lingers in the air, and while the nature is changing, hearts still feel cold and lost.

    Really nice piece, you write so beautifully...

    I definitely agree with Amreen, you've captured so much and this story. I thought about a woman who may be searching for herself and while she searching for herself falls into heavy drinking and the lust of many arms, but after that phase of her life she realizes that's she has a dream all of her own. Somehow that dream empowers her to look intently toward her future.

    This poem can be interpret so many ways, that what makes it so captivating. Hannah I really love this write, great write.

    Btw...I've miss you too:)
