Pensive Moment

Reflections shine,
eyes look away.
How did my life end up this way?
So many dreams died within me,
still long for hopes of
“What would be?”

The innocence of yesterday,
made life worth living everyday.
Stale clouds crept to embrace the now,
rain poured so hard, all faith fell down.

Salty tears dance
upon my lips,
I swallow hard,
pray sorrows slip.
Take a deep breath,
“What will come next?”
my mind narrates a brighter text.

Tomorrow plays a brighter song,
no space for doubts, nothing goes wrong.
Splashes of dreams cascade inside,
trust higher source always provides.

  1. Your verses capture the human struggle to find meaning and solace in the midst of loss and uncertainty, while maintaining a spark of faith that tomorrow can bring something better.

    Hugs from afar, friend Grace. 🤗✨👏

  2. Wonderful poem Grace – one I really love as it shows that sometimes we have doubts and we don’t know where we are heading for. But there is a power inside of us that says trust the process, smile – something bigger is helping in the backseat.

  3. Very well written, Grace! I can identify with the emotion and anxiety of your words. I have been there and felt much the same way! Thank you for sharing this.
