When Man Writes His Life Away Poem by RIC BASTASA

when sadness comes like
an uninvited guests
and when it stays longer
than you can
have it

just be silent

for silence are like seeds
that sprout on the little rains of
your patience
to grow the flowers of hope

when man writes his life away
overwhelmed by so much sorrow
God steps by the door
waits for you
to open it and then when this is done
God embraces you

the sun shines by the window of your house
the birds chirp again on the surrounding trees
the clouds of baby blue
cover the grasses as green as the pines
scented as perfumes
of your love
