POEM STARTER

Awakening

Write a poem about an awakening - it could be literal or metaphorical.

Loving love

I wake.

I walk.

I wander.

Across this vast, empty world.

I don’t feel much, aside from a growing feeling inside.

What does it mean?

I don’t know, but it won’t subside.

It makes me blue, it makes me red, it makes me green.

I’m screaming, I’m crying because of it.

Yet, I am also breathing and laughing and smiling

So I realise, bit by bit

Something is happening…

For what can bring both joy and pain,

both depression and elation.

The answer is really quite simple:

Love. The loss and the gain of it sets in motion the greatest feelings ever known, whether dragging us to the depths below or the lifting us to the sky above.

I love love. And that is all.
