A ray of sunshine
grace my life
in the darkest hours
through the loneliest nights
...
In the darkness of the night
I hear the ticking of the clock
declaring to me the passing seconds
...
I was awaken in the wee hours
by the smile of the sun
saying grace for a beautiful day
...
I touched your cold hands
hands that worked the land
caressed your tousled hair
hair that had known flair
...
A mother of three, a PhD scholar on study leave from a senior law lecturer's post. Currently in Manchester, UK. Have been taking different routes in my life, from what was expected of me. Have been a tutor, a lawyer, a life insurance agent, a salesperson and a marketing agent for books before returning to academia. I have been jotting down poems for many years. They just appear every now and then :) .)
Spring
Sprouting seeds
new born leaves
heeding the weather
casting all asunder
Promising buds
caroling birds
rejoicing in the sun
having fun
I pause amidst the crowd
of rushing humanity
looking up at the clouds
soaking in the insanity
In the promise of spring
I recall yonder years
the laughter that rings
drowning the tears
I walk on with a dance in my steps
I hear the sounds of claps
I see my smiling face
I say my grace
Leaving insanity be
I choose my destiny
