Persistence - A sijo

 And 'tis such a cliché to hear that storms don't last forever,

no they don't, but strong, persistent men - flamed, impassioned men do.

Courageously, boldly, patiently chasing their cherished dreams.

Linking with Ronovan Writes Sijo Wednesday Poetry 

Sunbeam

 The gold tinted azure skies,

spotless shade of blue, 

the kind that hurts the eyes,

or be it the cloudy dreary pale greys... 

The sun is always there, 

in all its radiant glory.

Welfare unto all

Rab rakha 

Another day, another chance

Another day, another chance.

At life and at living.

Yet another prospect

to prefect this art.

To draw the right strokes.

To smudge and shade the gradients.

Oh! And what a blessing it is!

To see the night retiring,

leaving the door, ajar,

allowing the light to rush in,

the blushing dawn

spreading its tippet,

and the prismatic scattering

that follows,

consuming the night.

Slowly. Definitely.

Yes!

Another day. Another chance.

Second. Third… Millionth. Zillionth chance.

To breathe.

To believe.

To be busily astir.

And to beget.

Your very own concrete rose.

Mayhaps a little flawed,

but undoubtedly immensely blessed.
