Poems from dahla
I wake
Just like you
I yawn
Just like you
I shower
Just like you
I walk
Just like you
But I’m not.
I go to school
Just like you
I have...
Lord, I do implore you
Give strength where I cannot
To love with boundlessness
And never be forgot
I pray to hold the hand
that held...
Breathe.
Inhale, exhale,
Inhale, exhale.
Each step brings you closer,
Each thought becomes a reality.
Dream,
No sleep, no change of mind...
A pebble.
So small, and undamaging
Round and smooth,
Cool to the touch until warmed in the hand
Harmless.
Until it is cast
Then, like...
Tears, like rain, stream across the world.
Mothers, fathers, sons and daughters; tears of joy and of remorse; tears of fear and of sorrow...
