#protestpoetry — Public Fediverse posts

I wrote this poem a couple of years ago in solidarity with immigrants everywhere. I am Danish but have made Scotland my home. Not everyone is welcomed by all. But we are all earth inhabitants. 🌍

In hues that dance along the cheek,
A rainbow speaks when words are weak,
Each stripe unveils a hidden tale,
A soul once silenced lifts its veil...

Turning around,
We feel like we’re falling apart;
Turning around,
Sinking in the vortex, we drown,
Twisting, reeling, lost in the dark,
Over and over, we restart;
Turning around...

and silence aching for a sign...

I’ve explored and found it lacking
The constant peace of mind
And the occasional euphoria
That evaded me in the past

I’m not going back...

Do you remember the night I told you
That my best friend could fly?
He had been so tired that day
And he told me to stay
On the phone because he had something to say...
