“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.

“Angel Flying too close to the Ground”

Crystal Michelle Fallin

 If you had not have fallen

Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground

And I patched up your broken wing
And hung around a while
Tryin' to keep your spirits up
And your fever down

I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

Fly on, fly on past the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
My angel flying too close to the ground

Leave me if you need to, I will still remember
My angel flying too close to the ground

Song by Willie Nelson
