Poem by: Hannah Carter
Thank you
Blessed are the days,
When the sky is not blue, it’s grey.
Thank you
For the dry soil where plants one day grow
And the empty building before it’s a home
Remember the places where smiles were born
But don’t forget where your fabric was torn
So sit here, for now, in this dark cave
And mark it
And thank it
For the path it will pave
You are the bright sky that clears
And you are the beautiful flower that rears
You are the soft voice your loved one hears
That lets them breathe,
And washes their tears
Leaves will fall, and rain disappears
That cruel voice in your head
Will one day be loving whispers in your ears
You –
You are the blue
And you are the water
You are your Bad Day’s daughter
And you will be better, you’ll be your own wife
You, my love, are the circle of your life
You’re in the corridor now, so go further
Tripped out of one room
Awaiting another
The keys though, they’ll fall in your little hands
And you’ll find a lock that honours your plans
Not perfectly, at first
You’ll try a few times and tears will burst
But like snowflakes that land
Some are broken,
And some fall perfectly in the palm of your hand
You’ll remember how joy feels
And remember then that you are able to heal
You might come back to this cave one day
But remember it’s temporary
It’s not here to stay.
