Sway

Everyday is born within,
tired eyes, create thick skin,
guilt bubbles absorb dark sins,
splashes of hope lift heavy chins.

A brighter day chases the old,
warm smiles melt hearts, frozen cold,
change of views help wounds unfold ,
adhesive scars grip to hold.

Choose today to make a mark,
bright dreams circle dread like sharks,
hopes ignite all hidden sparks,
pushes light deep into dark.

Time ahead moves head to feet,
as logic and feelings meet,
march to musical heartbeats,
while sitting still in your seat.

  1. This is beautiful! My favourite lines are:
    hopes ignite all hidden sparks,
    pushes light deep into dark.
    I also love how the last two lines speak of swaying along to music if I’m not mistaken? Great poem as always! ✨️💗

  2. Such meaning in each word that help us get through those heavy times, Grace! “bright dreams circle dread like sharks,
    hopes ignite all hidden sparks,
    pushes light deep into dark.”
