Summer breeze - Johanna Hay

Selected entry of the Global Challenges: Hope and Local Action arts competition.

My poem Summer Breeze is about the hope nature can provide. I was inspired by an image in my mind: a flower with striking white petals.

White petals
Flare from the centre
A swirling and glowing lights up the air
    before me

Golden light flickers,
Dances around my crown
You stand at my stem fallen
From grace, from Earth

I was alone
Until the sun shone on me
And the cloud broke out,
Seeds grew from the earth

Unlocked a fresh daze
And a longing
Grew into a spectacle of
White, purple, yellow and red

Summer breeze,
    blew away the cobwebs
I let go,
I let go
