Home
She is led under
As she wanders through the hollows of her mind
wondering what she will find
She stumbles upon memories of glass
That shine as bright as the suns first glow
Lined up in tidy rows
Kept in order so she can find what she needs to know
She picks up the shattered glass stone
Stained the color of home
Her security thrown
The order of things blown
Left standing alone
With a glass shard
Hands stained with the color of home

I love the depth in this.
Thank you. 🙂
In first line I suggest replacing hollows with word pathways or anything that does not suggest your subject is an airhead like hollows does. The rest is perfect.
LOL
Thanks for your suggestion Carl
I was using the word in this context:
A cavity, gap, or space: ex. a hollow behind a wall.
I really like the word hollow. I see Carl’s point, but in a lot of my poetry the word hollow keeps appearing. I believe it shows there is great depth to feel if someone can sense such a depth of emptiness. Jennifer this poem is a new personal favorite as it speaks to me in a very intimate way of where I am at on my personal journey. Thank you both for your love of words and how they can be so beautiful!
Thank you Rachael for your supportive and too kind words!
It’s nice to find a piece that speaks to our souls at the moment. I’m glad this post was able to be that for you.
Jennifer

I have been following this blog since I discovered my love of poetry in May. This poem speaks to me in such a simple yet deep way. I love the way the words string together like pearls to hang delicately around our wounded hearts.
