A Very Special Hummingbird
One poetic soul to another. For Sylvia Plath.
A beautiful mind, gifted
awareness at a very young age
using her wisdom to write
and explore her dark and her light
shutting her eyes as her world dropped dead
A romantic soul, yet unable to accept the rough
and why should she?
having chosen a bird, herself a soulmate or crow?
after all a mind can open to a heart in love
or can simply turn black?
being carried over the threshold once was magical
but thereafter being dropped on her head?
because seemingly the love had faded and died
maybe her true heart was with Dylan?
never truly understanding this, not even her?
Bringing her to a dark and miserable space
which others refused to see?
some calling her clinically depressed?
isn’t that what happened to Van Gogh too?
all he ever wanted was to be discovered for his talents?
some poets are born to crawl some are born to fly
and this girl had wings and she knew how to use them
It was this that kept her roaring through the skies
I believe with all my heart that on some days she did fly
way above the clouds
to wish that most famous character known to man
a great day? some would even call him God
she had wings and she knew how to use them
I imagine she used to meet the Angels too
sitting having afternoon tea and a table cloud
no one but her and the Angels
who brushed her hair and sang her lullabies?
all she ever had to do
was close her eyes and the world be dead.

Hi love I have deleted my comment because I wanted to converse with you... now you've read I've deleted because I don't want to put too much personal stuff 'out there' ok. Hope you understand... again... Great work Shirley... truly... hugs X
if you ever wish, I'll turn on message you just have to ask, I would do it for you. And it's ok to share our poetry and our thoughts, it helps us heal us, it has helped to heal me. 🌹
Bless you love... how kind.. I'll keep it in mind. Yes sharing thoughts through writing is fine... because it's vague... leaves a question mark over whether what we write is our truth or someone else's truth or just a write. But I don't like to put too much info in comments because that is truth and out there forever. That's why I delete sometimes after I've communicated with the writer.
I know you understand what I mean. You are so very kind Shirley. You can contact mine anytime you wish love... mine is always on..I would give you a huge hug if you were in front of me ❤
