A Hollow Heart: a Poem

a misreading of a prompt from kody.granger

She carved out a space to make it home.
She crafted a village inside, and yet
each time they hurt her,
her anguish made her burrow
further inside a place
nobody decided to look,
no one bothered to explore
deeper until it was thought empty,
deeper until it was thought vacant,
deeper still until they accused her
of having a hollow heart.

  1. Souls float to warmth.

    Knows no time…no space 

    Seeks its companion by giving sharp chase

    Mornings or evenings, 

    The hours matter not

    The soul seeks and will never stop

    The ground is a comfort 

    The soil holds a chill 

    And the soul burrows

    Like a seed with wisdom and skill

    This garden is of shadows

    Holding a flower that is hallowed
