Savva Emanon Poems

You may not calm every storm,
or heal every wound this world has known.
You may never touch every life,
or silence every sorrow.
...

In shadows cast by time's relentless hand,
Where whispers of the past and future blend,
I tread a path few hearts can understand,
In solitude, where weary spirits mend.
...

A love so deep, the universe cannot contain,
In realms where stars and galaxies remain.
Beyond the stretch of time, in endless night,
It shimmers like the moon's eternal light.
...

I do not know
what waits beyond this bend in the road.

I cannot see the shape of tomorrow,
...

Awake, dear soul, as the dawn softly calls,
Through the veil of the night, the light gently falls.
With whispers of purpose, the morning begins,
A sacred refrain from the depths within.
...

When the weight of the world wraps tight round your chest,
And the days blur with ache, with no time to rest.
When the mind is a maze, and the breath feels thin,
And life drums too loud beneath trembling skin.
...

There'll come a morning, soft and new,
when life feels kinder, somehow, to you.
You'll wake and find the weight has gone,
and feel within the pull of dawn.
...

(Inspired by Ralph Waldo Emerson's words)

Write it on your heart, a golden decree,
Each day a jewel, let it glimmer free.
...

They said,
"I don't want to be like my parents."

As if blood were a prophecy.
...

I have walked through evenings bent with silence,
where the hush of the streetlamp hums my name,
a hero, perhaps, in the whisper of one,
a villain in the frown of another.
...
