Poem meme

[myladylyssa]

I thought I would post two poems that touched me at a time when I needed them.

This first one evokes for me Sam's spirit after Frodo sailed.

Burning with love
And
Enduring the pain in silence,
I have wasted away to a skeleton
Like a thin red dragonfly.

Akera Kanko

The second one is longer (but worth reading), so I'll put it behind a cut. Enjoy!

List of Seemingly Unrelated Observations

Distance, like snow, melts.

Walking in deep yellow leaves
drowns out your voice.

Thinking, like a deep river,
eats canyons in your mind.

Everything blossoms that can.

Everything blossomed that could.

Stars move if they are airplanes;
wish fast.

You can live in as many places
at once as you need to.

For some places you don't go anymore,
you still have a key.

A dream brings you into morning
one way or another.
