The Flowers

Poem- 005, The Flowers

I stared at the desolate land around me,

Not even a blade of grass beneath me.

The sky is endlessly gray.

In a land where my sanity slowly began to frey-

Your shadow crossed my path,

Once, twice, I can see it at night.

I asked why you come by and you smiled,

“You can see me? Why?”

I guess it was because I saw this before.

Maybe I was a lost shadow too, nothing more.

But you showed me things I’d never seen or heard.

You led me to a far-off forest,

where the trees were endlessly green.

The porch where the wind blew,

That night where the bats flew,

The strange plants that bloomed...

I took their seeds and made my home,

I planted them in the desolate ground…

That ground where my shadows roamed,

Even though you're lost-

I still found,

Your comfort in the ground.

- Kaliyah Myers, a Poem to a soon to be book named, The Mad Project
