Poem
In city streets, where concrete's might Reigns supreme, I wander, lost in night A stranger in this urban maze and pain Searching for a refuge from life's driving rain The drivers' skills, a mystery to share A riddle wrapped in chaos, with no one to care They drive with passion's fire, yet senseless and blind Their horns, a cacophony, that pierces the mind A symphony of chaos, that echoes through the night I search for solace, in the silence, a peaceful sight The stars above, a twinkling sea A reminder of the infinite's mystery Oh, city of gold, where hearts are sold And love's a distant, fading light, to grow old I yearn for peace, for a refuge from the fray A place to call my own, where love will find its way So I write, to win the bread, and make ends meet A means to sustain, to survive, and find my feet The job applications, a never-ending test The rejections, a familiar tune, that I've learned to rest "We'll move forward, with another applicant," they say A phrase, that's lost its sting, as I've weathered many a day But still I hold on to hope, a glimmer of light A trust, that God has something better, in store for my plight Perhaps, I'm being refined, like silver in the fire A temporary punishment, for my deeds, that will soon retire For when God opens doors of blessings, no one can shut them tight I'll walk through them, with gratitude, and a heart full of delight So I'll keep on writing, through the noise, the chaos, the strife For in the words, I find my strength, my voice, my life.
