He Smiles


  • She dusts her memories
  • with thoughts and prayers
  • for those she left behind.
  • Longing for them like ebb and tide.
  •  
  • She spins looms of love
  • laden with smiles and hope
  • And somersaults days into nights
  • tossing her old life into a new one
  •  
  • She may not be Dorothy
  • but she clicks her heels
  • until you hear her cares fall
  • This is how it feels to be reborn.
  •  
  • As she skips down the road
  • you can see good make out with bad
  • faster than her heart beats
  • to dreams lifting her spirit away
  •  
  • If you ask her where she’s going
  • she’d say unto better winds
  • for she has adjusted her sails.
  • Ahoy, she’s found her happiness 
  •  
  • With only her hands for paddles
  • forward is her destination.
  • She steers faith’s rudder
  • to reason a truth that sets her free!
  •  
  • Come what may rain or shine
  • her smiles will unfold stories
  • only she can tell with strides
  • of happiness made not found!

CNQT

Poetry is a form of passionate expression kindled by an impression unbound by public conviction. I write mainly from two genres : impressionism and symbolism. Choose me or leave me, I'm not a backup plan and definitely not a second choice! Not everyone likes me but then again not everyone matters. What matters is peace and the feeling of being content. Every person is a book, this is just the place to share some pages from my book. Peace!
