Stubborn

February 14, 2024 RalphLeave a comment

there’s a stubborn rock
unwilling to move
no matter how sweet the song is,
no matter how loud the scream is,
it just wouldn’t budge.
I’m going to figure out
what it will take to make it sing of love.

rain fell and tapped the earth
like a gentle curtain on a wind.
world starts to look its part
as if my vision has restored.
I marveled at the split moment
of a rain drop, smashing onto surface
of a pond in a public park
making, albeit momentarily,
an impact.
both to the world, and to my mind.

Sun

when the window opened wide
and the eternally dark room
suddenly exploded in white light,
my eyes were briefly consumed
tears welled up, and fell off my eyes.
I sat, blinked a few times,
I stood up, stared at the sun
The day has already begun.

sometimes you are just on the roll.
grateful for the sunshine
through the crack on the wall
it gets real hard at times
yet if you keep going
something’s got to be working.

there’s no one to blame
there’s shards of glass on the floor.
it doesn’t matter if it is
a drop of tear on the floor
a tape recording of this moment
pushes us to keep on going.
don’t blame nobody
but search for the hidden love.
