Poem: Endless possibilities


 

My head under water,

browsing through my thoughts,

or so I think, they are mine.

Somewhere, when things get

quiet, I can hear the beating

of a drum, the rhythm

so indistinctly mine.

 

Birds flying, leaving no

trace behind, on the deep

blue canvas. Inside of us

are endless stories, some

happy, some sad, yet

infinitely ours. Inside of us

are endless possibilities,

no matter how broken

we've become.

Poem: My mirror know all my secrets


I cannot hide, you portray me without question

my ebb and flow, my dark and light

you're my constant friend, and I

cannot look at you and lie,

'cause lets face it, I'd be

lying to myself, right in the face

you may not have all the answers,

but you're a good listener,

and here's a little secret for you to keep:

" I don't know who I should become…

but maybe it's enough to know

who I don't want to become."

Poem: Hidden in childhood


you become…

somewhere between ploughing the fields

with bare hands and feet

climbing rocks and trees

because daylight demands

to be soaked into your skin

 

you become…

somewhere between wishful thinking

and dreaming of your hearts desires

music taking you to new heights

bathing in the lake of your imagination

do you notice what you gain and what you lose?

 

you become…

a stranger to the child you once were

so distant and cold, not at all innocent

yet you keep returning back to childhood

as a magnet, hidden in those days is a story

of how your personality unfolded

 

you become…

yourself, somewhere on the path

like a caterpillar turns into a butterfly

                you find your voice

Poem: Help each other sing

 


Leaves are falling,

Flying before coming down

As my days are passing

Colour like memory fades

Reminding me I should leave,

Yet something is still keeping me here

I asked for empathy

Yet we lost the human touch

Somewhere in the system


Remember when you were young,

How long ago that seems now

Yet deep inside you,

You don't feel a day older

The same girl, the same boy

The same essence,

But with a little less spark in the eyes

Your light shines in everything you do


Everything is connected somehow

Which path you choose,

The people you meet,

Can we help each other sing?

Poem: Persevere


 

   in the garden where the wildflowers grow

I heard a wolf howling, deep into the night

sadness all his own; it made me think of you.

so close but living distant lives,

what force still binds us together?

I plunge into the eye of the storm

soul restless, searching for harbor

  please, just persevere.

I blow into the dandelion puff

they dance into the air,

so weightless and free

in this darkness, things

that truly matter - shine.

   just watch, with curious eyes,

everything falls in its place.

It's been a hard week. I feel so lost and caught, not seeing a way out.
