When The World Became Still

When the world became still The sun would still rise in the morning And you’d think the birds would sing louder than ever, Or was it because the noise of the cars had suddenly stopped? The air became more breathable I so longed to breathe and touch nature Yet we were told to stay home.…

Stolen Spring

The Resilient Rock

I want to love you Though the distance burdens me. Our intellects melted, Attracted to each other. I see you do need me As a rock to hold on to. And I receive your waves As they crash on me. Yet I do not mind the erosion For I am pure resilience When I feel…
