The rain fall,
Tiny transparent streaks on the sky.
If you look closely, you can see
The world grow,
As it learns to do more than survive.
If you look closely, you can see
The rain fall, Tiny transparent streaks on the sky. If you look closely, you can see The world grow, As it learns to do more than survive.

Isn’t it wonderful,
How the world can change? One instant -The blink of an eye- And poof! Everything’s different. A miracle, really. Just a shift of mind, And the world follows suit. I wonder what my world should be Today? I could be happy, excited, Confident! What would that create? Something far more interesting Than drab, dull sorrow. The possibilities! A billion people the world over All creating -imagining- Something new! But for today, I’m just creating my world, And I’m gonna make it a good one. Priority
What is this world coming too? You ask. Global warming, Worldwide famine, War, Starvation, Oppression. Existing for an eternity, These problems persist- Likely they always will. But do we not owe it to the world, Fragile as it is, To protect it? No matter how futile the endeavour, We have the duty to try and improve it, Just a little, Within our lifetime. So Why? Why is it more important to: Lose weight, Earn money, Tell one more lie, Just one. Then I will help, Then I will make a difference. Then I will live. Sorrow into Joy
Note: This poem is actually several years old, but I just found it, and wanted to put it up A teardrop lands in a shallow pool, The one who shed it in honest grief But as the sun shines and the pool starts to shrink, It is saved by a teardrop, a dragonfly egg. And as the rain falls, the pool then fills up And what seems like a curse In fact saves a life. For the dragonfly lives- See now as it flies! The purest of red ‘gainst the bluest of skies Our Place
It’s funny to think How little we matter In the cosmos One planet at the edge of One galaxy So small, In the vast contingency of space and time That is our world. And yet, We do matter. We are here, Born of “coincidence” We are a fragile world Made precious by the fate befallen us. Our Situation
Have you ever stopped to think About the sheer enormity Of our world? (And what is happening to us?) So many people Each with their own story Ever unfinished -and unheard But no less real than yours Everyone tries To fulfill some goal Pursue destiny Find hope So many people Rushing around Overlooking the obvious In their quest To find happiness A multitude of beings Endlessly searching To live out some fantasy And so the world goes An endless cacophony of dreams Unseen
An eternity of truths The universe shows- One for every dream Potential is infinite, But choice impossible. What if I take the wrong step? A labyrinth of choices But I am not alone I will follow the footsteps Of destiny Life is a journey And not a goal The water’s not that cold If you jump So be free! Enjoy life Wherever you happen to be. Look around Smile, Breathe Let the future remain unseen Connected
We are one Each heartbeat marks a piece of eternity Each story leads to the truth within. Among uncountable diversity There is unity A connection We know as life Balance
We are equal Unique, one of a kind, yes Some more different than others But it is this that gives us balance Tip the balance Ruin the world So, in balance We are whole Silence
Out of the silence, there is always noise Full in all its glory, Loud, thunderous and strong. clouding to the mind, we live in it nonetheless and yet, out of the noise there is always silence for without silence, what noise would there be to define? |
I have placed the poems I have written into a blog format, for lack of anything better. You can sort them by category, or by date (anything older than May 2011 is under May 2011 because that's when I did the transfer). If you want to view all the poems, I recommend downloading the word document below.
