after the fire

they say it will go away.
they say all i have to do is blow
and the ashes will sail away
like the have fluttering wings.
but i tell them that hurt
is not light; it is heavy,
and i carry a heavy heart.
but they reply that if i try,
the hurt will become a feather,
only a reminder
of the bird that once flew.
i am ready to blow.

typo? They?

liked this, time to heal type thing :)

btw, no worries if you never get to comment, or read mine for that matter, I like comments, but it's not the be all and end all, I write 'cos I want too :)

and your mum asking you to clean your room is a part of it, one of the pokes or prods...been a long time since i was asked to tidy my room :)
a joy of being adult I guess, though sometimes...sometimes...

anyway, pop in if/when you can/want

:)

inconsequential: yeah. thanks for pointing that out. & I write cause I want to get comments. no. I write ONLINE cause I want to get comments and improve. usually I write just for the feeling of putting the pen on paper and feeling all the words flow out.
J.A.L: thanks. :D
aria: love the word poignant! & thanks.
