Poem -

flowers don't dance

And what of those days
When the sky is not blue 
But suffocating.
When the trees are not perfect or
gently serene but, advance with
malevolance, there but unseen
When grass grows too sharply to
comfort the eye and the
flowers don't dance but edge
Stealthily by. With knives.
what of those days?

Absolutely stunning poetry, everyday is certainly different especially inside our souls, today positive yesterday terribly dark, life has a funny way of doing that to us, through grief and so much more, but to always remember these days are good and bad there is an eventual balance, your poetry as it always is, incredibly powerful and poetic and speaks to the reader. A beautifully created piece my dear Marion.   ♥️

When the grass grows too sharply 
To comfort the eye.

I miss that comfort, and too well know the betraying sharpness the terrible eye can bring with ordinary beautiful things

Mind would you if I ripped you off? 

I too know the betraying sharpness the terrible eye can bring with ordinary beautiful things.

I think it's more conceptual than that, but it seems not 🤔 all you need to know is you are an inspiration
