Green Angel

This is a poem that I wrote inspired by my favourite book, Green Angel by Alice Hoffman.

~*~

Green is I, Green is my soul.

Green is my work, my heart.

I sit, lay, live quiet.

My time shall rise,

Like the moon, like the moths.

A future unfolding,

A book page turning.

Rising, rising, next age shall appear.

I wait. Patience itself unending.

Green is I, Green is my heart.

Green is my soul, my work.

I remain, I remain,

Sweet unfairness, I remain.

Sweet goodbyes soured by remain.

Ignorance. Work. Pain.

A future imploding,

A book page burning.

Closing, closing, normality evades life.

I wait. Suffering, itself, unending.

Green is I, Green is my work.

Green is my soul, my heart.

Ever quiet, ever scarred. Patience.

Ash, embers. Cleared, erased.

Moon stones, stone heart.

Towers of remorse.

A future healing,

A book page creating.

Growing, growing, I grow anew.

I wait. The light returning to the night.
