~Present Poem~


-Life-

-a delicate dance between chaos and clarity

-each day’s passing ushers in the unexpected

-this mixed bag of heartache and hilarity.


-Fragile-

-the moments among which….

-darkness threatens to overtake

-casting its long shadow—

-a blanket covering without care.


-Joyful-

-the heart--

-whose cavernous chambers overflow

-filled to the brim.

-boasting a beauteous beat

-harmonizing with gratitude

-and a melody of peace.

-This vessel’s voice sings and swells—

-It's arcing climax: a crescendo of love.


-Courageous-

-the ones

-who set upon their journeys.

-heads held high—roadmaps opened wide

-boldly blazing a trail

-with laborers few---and martyrs many.


-Faithful-

-the eyes

-whose vision is not blurred

-Heavenly heads, raised and upright

-Setting sights above

-unwavering commitment crowning their curls.


-Hopeful-

-it peeks around corners....

-the soul seeking that something

-reaching out hands for healing

-open-palms ready....waiting...

-with joyful expectation

-perched in the pregnant pauses--

-this steadfast spirit buoyed by belief…

-sets anchor among Truth’s tranquil tides.


-Free-

-A description of me.

-Would be,

-Could be.

-Shall BE~
