Transitory – Poem by Ali Grimshaw

~ Ali Grimshaw 
I built a bridge to you
using marshmallows and glue
It was worth the sticky effort
then it melted in the rain.

I threw a magic ruby rope
woven with sparkles of hope
singing enchantments 
to call you closer.

I dug a river of blue
inviting a float on my skin
to pull you within
but you preferred to fly.

I nested a home for myself
cocooned through my pain.
With a change in the winds
on a zephyr you rode in.

  8. Aww, I could feel the determination to reach out and I love the whimsical images of that. I think we never reach out in vain….somehow, our message comes through. A lovely poem.
