Maybe Sometime: Poem

 

Maybe sometime in this:

Life will show me

The dazzling star

Hiding behind the misty foam

A lantern stitched in silence

Burning softly

Beyond thunderous storm

Maybe, this life

Will show me

The fruit of passion

I have been long 

Waited to taste

Like two separated souls

Reunited with a fate

Maybe someday

Life will show me

The face, my heart

Is racing for

The face I imagined

In sleepless constellation

& maybe sometime

The canopy will 

Sent down

The drizzle;

This dire earth 

Is waiting for

In streaming heat

Little twinkles 

Will pour

& maybe wandering rivers

Will reunite with their ocean

The forgotten path of birds

With once remember their goshen

Until then,
I will carry hope
Like a small hidden ember
Tightly knitted in golden rope

Guarding its glow
From the ruthless weather of doubt,
Believing even the darkness
The flame of love

That once ignite

Shall continue to harness
