hello again, sweet guests. i hope you are enjoying your residence here so far. welcome back to the spiritual waiting room ♡ today, i am offering poems that i wrote, and trying to explain to you the meaning behind them and what they tell us about the world.
i think i love poems because of they’re beautiful yet so simplistic. often composed of short sentences and words yet conveying a message; i think it’s a beautiful thing. much like the korean word for poem, 시, a new word i’ve learnt with this entry in mind, they’re short and sweet. not over complicated but filled with emotion. so here’s my 사랑시 (love poem) to the world. enjoy 즐겨요.
wandering angel
my wings are tired
tired of wandering this plain
watch over me
and the other dreamers
whisper to the moon whilst it’s on the wane
bury a secret
deep inside of a wilting lotus
nestled, she’s
between petals
it will float away,
warm with the oncoming breeze
above all, my poems are streams of words and emotions that resonate with me at the time. but, i find that afterwards a deeper meaning can be found between the written lines. with that in mind, this poem to me is representative of the burdens many of us carry around with us in mortal society: “tired of wandering this plain”- referencing said burdens and expectations we hold ourselves to and we are held up to by society, that we exhaust ourselves trying to reach. so, in contrast to this more dystopian view of society, we go back to our roots: the idea of “burying” secrets “deep inside of a wilting lotus” is the idea of going back to our fundamental roots- nature and finding beauty in our surroundings. finding tranquility amongst chaos. the meaning goes deeper than what the line may suggest. it’s advice to us all that we should let go of the aforementioned burdens and leave them to nature in search of peace, when they will “float away” with the “breeze”. ending the poem with mention of breeze, something so slow and naturally occurring brings it back to the original message- that sometimes we feel slow and beaten down by life. but, by accepting and freeing ourselves, we can find inner sanctuary. ♪
i hope you enjoyed~ take what resonates and think about what you’re carrying day-to-day that you could let go of. share your burdens and worries; they’ll float away.
i hope this reaches you well. live happily ♡ your admin, sparkle
