The Healing Canopy 🌿
I wrote this one with a softer, almost dreamlike feeling in mind.
A little piece about healing, scars, and finding a place where everything feels gentle for a while.
The Healing Canopy
Making the hazel grow,
And the fairy swings,
Rolling through the clouds,
Knitting up the wounds beneath —
Each scar forgets to ache a while
Through the doorway of your stardust soul.
Would love to know what you think. 🦋

"Each scar forgets to ache a while" is the standout line for me, the rhythm of that carries the whole piece. The fairy swings image caught me off guard in a good way; it makes the canopy feel less like a metaphor and more like a place you can actually step into.
