Lauren M. Hancock Poetry and Prose
Where I can feel at home…
Green shoots press their way through compact heavy weight of rain-drenched soil, I watch them rise, peek through the surface, surprise! their ends seem to call, reach toward that sun drenching them, a morning of rich rays warming them, [...]
Meeting time and time again...
I could ask myself, “Why?” That wandering, unanswered question, a syllable that lingers long into the distance, so uncertain, unsure, unfulfilled. [...]
Stability, balance, breath; it’s all I need, in, out, announcing my presence, my cares rise like air, into the atmosphere they appear to swirl, yet in my mind, I am stagnant, there must be a woman within, not this impressionable young, little girl inside. That youngster awaits, with insolence, she does not want to see, that the path undertaken by some ill-fated decisions, their negativities and future judgements allowed are glaring to others, plain to see. Why cannot I understand that I’m losing grip [...]
There’s a gentle humming surrounding my being, as though I’m reverberating from the inside-out. Something warm and prominent spreads out to my border, my aura, and there’s no ill feeling, nor any sign of doubt. Every inch of flesh breathes shudders with gentle flow, reminding me I’m living and breathing and, with connectedness to a higher source, my energy resonates and grows. [...]
In alignment with understanding, alignment with fresh truths, no stale visions or ideas, no biting coldness, there is only Winter’s artificial warmth, flowing and growing, hearts drift and imbue. [...]
Sing to myself, I will this day, there is nothing to perturb me, my worries they have been laid away. I do not exist, I live, broadly speaking I experience, I take, I give, my heart yearns for nothing, I am complete because I’ve accepted the truth of myself, I'm growing more comfortable in my skin. Strength comes from knowing who I am, [...]
The rain pitter-patters against the window reminding me of the melancholy I used to feel, but now I am developing myself, I am fusing myself together, redetermining self-worth. I need not chase the opinions high nor low of yonder words to come, need not seek the approval of critical strangers, or unkind people who I’m not close with, why, shouldn’t they matter [...]
You have it within you. The ability to push through, with determination, with resolve, with power, without the assistance of another. You can do it, brother, sister, you can achieve these goals. You can achieve your goals, even with extenuating circumstances, don’t you know? Though sadness, lack of [...]
I can speak of kindness, of the heart, of warmth, of the joy of here and now, I can speak of closeness, of love, of holding hands while we’re all in rows, I can speak of the courageousness, I can speak of strength, I can speak of resilience, I can speak of the potency [...]
