“Unforgivably Herself” a poem

Crystal Michelle Fallin, The Bahamas 

In this time, and in this place,

She was unforgivably herself,

Full of flaws, beauty, chaos

And imperfections,

For those things are what

Made her real in this world,

And the things that are real

In this world are the things

That are loved the most…

“I wondered lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth - “She Dances with the Daffodils”

Dancing with the daffodils

Crystal Michelle Fallin, Artist, Dancer, Writer, Free Spirit

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o'er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed—and gazed—but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.
