justwrite . I wrote these a while ago during lunch hour and they are most likely full of mistakes and may or may not make any sense. I thought I would share these poems since I have never really written anything before and I thought they were a good try for a first time writer. Hapiness
Happiness floating in the air just close enough to touch
Always their but just out of our grasp
Feelings of hurt and misery the catalyst that keeps us searching
Searching for the happiness that keeps us warm at night
Searching for the warmth of family
Searching for the love that brings us to our knees, that entwines our heart and soul so much so that all we can do is surrender to it.
Pain
Pain and misery in the world ensnares us
The kind of pain that weakens our very being
The kind of pain that shuts out all other feelings
That would otherwise ground us
In the bleakness of the day we cannot see the sun shining through
If only those who are surrounded by doubts could
See through the fog and embrace the sun
Embrace the water gently flowing around us
Embrace the wind wiping through our hair
Embrace the fire surrounding us, warming us to our very core
Embrace the earth crumbling beneath us
Only when we embrace the pain can we see the beauty
Only when we embrace each other as equals can we hear ourselves
Forget our doubts, fears and prejudices
Love like there is no tomorrow
Love each other’s differences and learn from them
Only when we love each other whole heartedly will each of us find salvation.
