Parallel Universe

Loveliness is this poem.

In a world where
dandelions grew into skyscrapers
and trees were nothing but weeds,

The dandelions are my favorite among all trees.

skies splashed like oceans
and seas turned to dust,

Very strong imagery in two lines.

friends quickly became enemies
and liars spoke nothing but the truth -

When the liars speak the truth this will be a complete collapse of all the truth and reality.

maybe, just maybe
within the chaos
of a parallel universe,

we could back-stroke past
clouds of devastation
and fly towards eternal happiness.

I can feel the wisdom in these lines. The poem speaks of the deep thoughts and memories you have and this what made me chose you as one of my fav orite writes, Hannah. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I too fell in love with the imagery and was moved by the end of reading this! Just the beginning was almost an abstract picture, everything is not what it seems, we often think of trees as spirited giving life, yet what if they ended up being nothing but weeds?

Good part about the friends and then the liars, that seems like such a turn-around moment in someone's life, all surrounding them is turned into something unknown, never experienced before.

Loved your verb of "back-stroke", that was clever, and the ending.....it made me think we can adapt to change, find our own happiness even if things are switched up in the world around us.
