Heather Z. Hanna Poems

This morning I felt something
...I thought something new.
It brought me to the realization
That I have returned
...

Yellow wormwood flowerheads
Push up between green leaves
And violet red stems
Of Poke Sally.
...

Through the years of raising little ones
to bigger ones to big enough,
Takes so much time and energy
That creative thoughts come on bits and scraps of paper,
...

Life keeps moving on.
Rushing forward all day long.
We haven't much time
For what we do.
...

Dare I hope for a dream?
A dream built on a hope?
Where not only I am loving you
But you are loving me, too?
...

I have retreated to my shell.
Dissappointed in reavealing myself
Where my emotions are on display.
Safer to be secure,
...

You have chosen your course
To plow the seas of life.
Tacking where wind subsides,
Running with the storms,
...

An ember of Hope
Burneth low, giving little warmth,
Readying itself to extinguish
And grow cold
...

Where there was communication,
Suddenly silence.
Where there was conversation,
Suddenly silence.
...

Oh, it's lonely waiting
For a reply of simple words,
To heartfelt messages sent
With earnest sincerity.
...
