Emily's poems

A Moment of Clarity

I slowly ascend from my deep slumber
another day full of rain and thunder
I glance out to the fog that lights my room
this is a chill peace, when life gives its gloom
I turn on my computer and study
the soil is damp and very muddy
but a flower will grow when the tears drop
when you feel tired.. learn to rest, not stop
I take a minute to think about those
who have it worse, who rarely tell or show
I think of the comfort they do lack
they feel so lost, and not on track..
I open my browser to see my friends
hearing their stories from every end
a brief look into a world beyond
I connect with these souls, a trusted bond
when the world hates and hurts each other,
we help lift them back up.. a new lover
the swamps and forests allure my tense sight
immersing myself in its serene lights
a trip down to the mall, browsing through stores
bookstores, arcades, food court, wonders galore
I pause and meditate, drowning out each sound
these moments I embrace are so profound
the memories of my father in life
will never fade, even when cut by a knife
we must keep our thoughts in good esteem
when the world is bad as it may seem
take a minute to breathe, on your short break
I gently calm you from the harm that shakes
you are so precious, so cherished, so loved
I sing a soft chorus.. my angel dove
such a beauty we pursue, we are strong
you are very welcomed, you do belong..
a moment of clarity begins new dawns
hoping for a bright future, we are drawn
the clouds part ways as our vision clears
the heaven is silent.. we should not fear
such a power is birthed by sudden change
a wave of tensions affecting each range
we get stronger from every event
rising out of the ashes that smoke our lens
I step out of the city into nature
people are cruel, and do not cater
but we are in a universe that speaks
its words in soft volumes that we can reach
we are living in this life we have known
the art that shines its brilliance, in tones
I am so grateful for what I enjoy
watching over the brave soldiers deployed
we are so diverse in each way expressed
but we are equal to each other, no less
we fight through hell, as the heaven awaits..
it will be worth it and so very great
I end my computer session for now
my loving friends are still with me, somehow
we will continue to share our vibes
the struggle is a process in our lives
so let's always keep our dreams in mind
focusing on the vision we will shine
only time will tell and we will find out
as we keep learning what this is about
take a pause to observe the wonders around
breathe in.. and out, embracing the low sound
we will be fine and we will be okay
take a break for now, and live for today
to conclude and rest my passage right here
and our consciences become clear,
I end this long poem on a high note
as we keep moving forth, towards a new hope..
