Disentangling

by Sunshine   May 30, 2020


I let you, all leaves, fall.
I refill the cuts
and revive the ends,
all the pain engraved
scratches of letters upon my trunk,
we shall weld together
like does forceful lust to the skin.
My roots shall crawl and hug my soul
it shall fill the gaps and heal my name,
and I shall forget all of yours,
the wind and the rustle
will carry away this grave damage.
I will stand to bend towards the sun,
and I will fall, out of love,
out of everyone
out of reach of peccant hands.
Rising alone, way above the weathers
that never complied with my humble dreams.

    I LOVE this poem and no it is not because it is full of hope and happiness. You have a way with words here and the metaphors are stunning.

    There is so much i want to cover in the poem itself. So i will take it one step at a time.

    The first few lines tell of a rebirth of life almost well that's where it ends up but you are healing like a tree in autumn your leaves being to fall but that is a good thing because the leaves were harming you the trunk. In that you are reminded that there are people all around you that care and are possibly going through the same thing, so you want to stick together.

    Your roots are still intact and you are remembering who you are before you were hurt. You are forgetting the person (leaves) that hurt you.

    The wind is a powerful echo in time and that echo will be your voice old and new.

    You will stand tall despite the harsh winters and you will let the sun be your light and guide.

    You are nature and nature is you.

    Nature is healing you.
