A place to show my work
What is tranquility?
I don’t know.
Whenever I think I’ve found it,
It vanishes right away.
I chase it through the silence,
In whispers of the night,
Yet every time I grasp a piece,
It slips beyond my sight.
A fleeting breath, a soft embrace,
A moment spent in dreams,
Though silent echoes linger still,
It fades like morning beams.
Sunrise paints the sky,
Golden hues ignite the day,
A promise of light.
A hunger has begun, deep and strong,
To chase the dreams where I belong.
Huge things to be had, far and wide,
Even if I must journey alone, with pride.
In a crowd, I feel like I’m small,
Wishing quietly not to stand tall.
With a gulp and a sigh,
I just want to hide,
As my heart beats, it echoes the call.
Here prices skyrocket.
Need to find new ways to pay.
The struggle is real.
You’d better save up my friend.
As it’s not getting cheaper…

Burn, baby, burn
For all the wrong things you have done,
Ashes drift where shadows turn,
In the fire, the past is spun.
Let the flames ignite the night,
From the embers, strength will rise,
In each end, there lies new light,
In the ashes, hope complies.
A friend in time of need
planting hope like a seed
helping me to succeed
In the quiet night where stars are luminescent
Dreams dance softly, their whispers incandescent
of all that yet to come
Longing for friendship
Wishes bloom in the heart’s song
A bond yet to be
I swear that it is out there
Be true to yourself, you’ll see…

Up
High
A star
Brightly shines
Waiting patiently
For a chance to grant wishes
Dark
Clouds
above
rain waiting
patiently to drop
To cleanse the world of all its filth.
Blank slate to create
Many ideas swirl in me.
Not sure what to do.
Rescue me from all that hinders me,
From shadows that weigh heavy on my soul,
Cut through the thorns that bind so viciously,
To find the path that leads me to be whole.
Lift me above the tides of doubt and fear,
Where whispers of despair no longer reign,
In the light of hope, let my heart draw near,
To find the strength to rise beyond the pain.
Let the winds of change blow fiercely, unrestrained,
And shake the chains that keep my spirit down,
In the dawn of clarity, I’ve obtained,
The courage to reclaim my lost renown.
For in my heart, I’ll find a way to see,
The beauty in the struggle, and to be free.
Your three words today are:
CONTROL
NONE
TIME
In the dance of fleeting time,
We seek to grasp what feels sublime.
Yet in the quiet, we find our role,
For in the end, we have control—
Over none but moments passed,
In fleeting breaths, our joys amassed.
The eyes are the window to the soul,
Guardians of secrets, they quietly unfold.
They speak without words, a language so pure,
In each gaze exchanged, our connections endure.
Stars in the twilight, shining so bright,
Whispers of dreams in the softest light.
So cherish the moments, let your gaze roam free,
For in those deep windows, true beauty we see.
