Notes About The Poem

Since I am sick I don't have the energy to produce something new, so here's an oldie, I hope you still like it :)

Blown Away

I climb you 
with my arms. Filled 
with silvery spider web, 
courage, the wish to 
be away from here,
blown in the 
autumn 
wind.

                                                                 A seed
                                                 A kernel
                                   A core

I leave my husk for all to find,
scattered in the wind

                                      A parachute
                                                         A dragon
                                                                        A kite

                                                   I tie my silver thread,
                                                   let me be carried away.
