Poems

Mona May 2016
Seeds to grains
life seems to be an endless  journey

Sweat and tears  well up like a river , ponds to seas they
all seem to collide  in one manner

Hands and feet all seem to do their job well, but the heartache
of  stones cannot be imitated by my soles

Still Be Thankful young one ,the journey  is a bitter fruit
That  leaves  sweetness ,Be Thankful for the colours  and shadows
That exist around you (Tendai)
a dedication  to my schwester
heart filled with love,
head on she is tough,
one direction always up.
her mind no doubt smart,
she sweet some ****,
her life a perfect piece of art.

she might be short ,that's length
when its sight she sees into the future.
she might be dark, that's skin
inside she is supernova.
the brightest light even in the darkest night,
look into her eyes you see the sparks.

to God I am grateful,
hope she will ever be cheerful ,
success she is a handful,
one more thing thank you.

I didn't cry writing this,
maybe because if I could I would have to cry everyday.
she deserves the same,
I will try what ever I can until im zero strength .

her name is Tendai that means thank you.
thank who I ask her , thank Tendai
she is my sister.
