Poems from Vaerlynn
I am the daughter of a physical therapist. My family traveled every few years from place to place as I was growing up, so I do not have a hometown. I have never left the mainland U.S., though I have an interest in studying Japanese. Growing up, I was classed as an artist and received the according schooling. I write poetry the way I take pictures; it helps me to remember and to understand, and I hope that it makes a connection.
God will give you time
To reflect and find your thoughts,
So don't worry.
He has your back
And guards it well.
God will give you...
In a pauper's clothes
I dance in the air
Beneath the cloak of night.
~
I dream that I'm an angel
And dare to touch the light.
Grin for me, darling;
Bare all your teeth.
Sing for me, angel;
Kill me with speech.
Trace the soft horizon,
Then make the stars fall from...
But I am lost
in a matter of seconds;
I have left those clouds
And here I am,
no longer lofty;
afraid of my own
shadow.
An ageless voice echoes
Like light upon water;
Reflection:
When a mind recovers
Old memories from the source.
