Green Cushion Poem by Elena Sandu

Green Cushion



I felt few sparks of gems
reflecting into my soul,
dreams, lives, like fire
one selves would try to burn.
The deeper I try to hide them
towards more searching
and more wondering I turn.
Could I be a thief,
an outlaw?
Could one be able to steal
own soul then offer it for free
at world's stretching factory
for its diligent workers
to strike it, making it
wider and louder
than it ever been
thin enough
to be brought to a tailor
to make of it a greatly needed thing:
For the fall from my wall
a protection cushion
with soften wisdom filled.

Perhaps we trade it everyday, in our dealings of love and commerce and relationships where we gain or loose ground, trading our soul in bits or chunks, but it regrows and we see it strengthen as a concentrate with happiness or contentment or see it diminish and become diluted as we succumb to life's trials and travel poor and alone without love. Indeed a cushion of a good heart or soul is best provided for us by the love of others and our love of them. This product should never be given away lightly as it is surely not ever available as a commercial quantity but instead given in special parcels to but a special few. Your poem is a great and provocative concept.

The soul is indeed a cushon upon which to fall... I love the sound that your pen makes inside of me...
