Stitches

I had a whole blog post planned for today. It wasn't groundbreaking or anything but it was nice to have a plan but I just felt the urge to post something... something I wrote. Something I wrote for something other than this blog. It's a poem that I wrote for a collection of poems called Sky. I'm pretty sure it's not my favourite but I wanted to post it anyways so, here it is:

Stitches

Sewing together the stitches,To become a whole

 If it weren't the night

We would see the hummingbird

Whose wings steadily flap,

In their glorious iridescence;

A reflection of our own surreal glow

But it is the night.

And lost in the velvet

Of the midnight sky,

There is just you and I.

The erratic rhythm

Of our two hearts

Is like the heavy beats

Of the hummingbird's wings.

And as we twist together,

We also fly.
