National Poetry Day Message Poem by Alison Williams
Liz Brownlee ♦ October 6, 2016 ♦ Leave a comment
Flow
.
my world is fluid
in a constant
state of flux
.
I am an ocean
who once spoke
to the dry land
.
I told him how much
I admired his
permanence
.
he answered me
with rockfalls, landslides
lava fields
.
he showed me
all the pain there is
in rigidness
.
when change comes
then the hardness somehow
has to break
.
rending himself apart
and shedding
tears of fire
.
he gave me
just a glimpse
into his molten core
.
