Honeysuckle Summer
Hannah Bailey
the grass has grown green
and the rain has come strong,
during this honeysuckle summer,
in a place that I don’t belong.
I’m starting all over and
I’m beginning again.
I just kind of wish
that I still had a friend.
burning these bridges
meant finding my home;
a new path to follow,
a new place to roam.
where I’m at, I wake up now,
to the sun in the window.
I await the winter snow, but for now,
I have the shade of the weeping willow.
the grass is growing brown
and someday it will be gone, but for now,
during this honeysuckle summer,
I’ve figured out where I belong.
