Vanessa Dizon Alvarez Poems

You don't need to know the plan,
Just take today with open hand.
Not every step will feel secure,
But trust in Him—His love is sure.
...

I'm not who I was, I've weathered the storm,
I've changed through the fire, reshaped every form.
I've carried the weight of betrayal and loss,
And learned that my peace comes at a cost.
...

The older I grow, the clearer it seems,
truth hides not in words, but in recurring themes.
Apologies fall like fragile glass,
but patterns endure, they do not pass.
...

I wish I didn't see the cracks,
the silence stitched in whispered acts,
the tremor hiding in a smile,
the shadows trailing all the while.
...

I've learned that plans may fall apart,
That dreams can crack a tender heart.
That not all wounds will mend with time,
And not all wrongs will turn to rhyme.
...

If I spoke in thorns, not thread,
And left your heart in quiet dread,
Forgive the storm I did not see—
The ache I caused unknowingly.
...

A petal falls, a hand extends,
No trumpet sounds, no need to bend.
A smile, a word, a gentle grace—
The world is changed in quiet space.
...

She walked where grasses touched her knees,
The sky above was calm and free.
A tiny moon, a breeze so kind,
She left the noisy world behind.
...

She woke one dawn with a different fire,
No longer chained to doubt's desire.
No need to ask who stood, who strayed,
Her peace was hers, no debt unpaid.
...

Two words, so gentle, soft, and small,
Yet they echo loud within us all.
"What" and "if"—a harmless pair,
Until they whisper everywhere.
...
