Discovery Poems - Poems about Discovery

It’s been a long time since I’ve ventured into this new studio of mine— dust has settled like ashes on the unshelved books and the jars of brushes still packed away in boxes that intimidate me. Since I’m already here I might as well unpack one carton of my past. I slit the tape on a box labeled Miscellaneous, not knowing what I’ll find. Inside, a parrot, a toucan, some...

My head has always been made of glass, and inside it lives a faint idea of who I am. She used to be a silhouette, but even then she wasn’t very defined. In eighth grade, I believed that she lived in the shadows, because showing herself felt heavier than living in the trenches of our own mind. In a way, she was...

Today I discovered the sun Not that the sun was ever invisible Not that the sun was ever lost Not that the sun was ever elusive Not that the sun was ever obscured by an unattainable cost Today I discovered the sun When I removed the blinds from my windows So that the sun could find me ...

I want to climb mountains high. Before they start falling from the sky. I will pray for every hater. And be like my creator. I don’t want to live in regret. I want to accomplish the goals I set. And soar beyond the streams. Where pain is a distant dream. I want to be one with my creator. And live like my savior. Turn down...

If God is hateful explain where love comes from. If God is your equal, define the body and how each piece flows as one, and recreate it. If God is betrayal convince me your life is done, that you're not just undone, but unfinished. If God is pure punishment explain replenishment, recuperation and recovery. Your discovery of God is not set in stone and neither is mine. So give Him...

Self-discovery I have been robbed of the joy well deserved, The golden confidence beneath, The inner peace. I have been robbed of a voice, treasured Caged, and echoing behind my rib cage. What a long journey of discovery, Discovery of wealth carried in me. And now I am a walking art, Built from fragments of my broken past. I peeped through my destiny, In between blank...

Each day I stand before the glass, A meeting where truths unmask. She waits for me with patient eyes, Reflecting what I oft despise. She shows me depths I never knew, What I’ve ignored, what I misconstrue. Her silent empathy, her tender care, She cries for me, always there. “It is okay, mate,” her whispers say, Guiding me through shadows grey. At times I hate,...

I hear the sound of clanging and banging from a distant source Like an orchestra of metal pots that have fallen on the kitchen floor which brings a ringing to my inner ear then a low vibration comes as I stand still This frequency happens frequently transmitting a language I've yet to unveil Creating a magnetic peace during its stay One...

The Unmoored Ship I waltz through the ship, Yet not dancing like the eerie drizzle in my mind, While footprints dissolve into the quiet embrace of the deck. The laborers pace back and forth, Hauling their burdens— Just like me, struggling to steady my steps, Misaligned with my thoughts. I beg the tranquil wind Not to whisper my prophecy to the sky, But the sky...

Like a seed Planted for a tree, I grow and grow My back, strong and tall Through thorns and thistles. You can't tell me I've not been through enough And I still won't go through some things more. But I'll flourish like a palm tree Just like the Psalms said Under the gentle care of the vine grower Clinging unto the branches Well aware of how...

Consistency is key isn't it not? Then why does it feel like a chore rather than a reward? Nobody gives you a road map on life So why are there so many pressures from wrong to right? Inconsistency has been a part of my whole life Whether I knew it or not But that's the thing Little girls and little boys are...

In twilight's glow, two hearts align, Eyes like stars, tenderly entwined. Each word spoken, a gentle thread, Mapping dreams of paths ahead. Laughter dances on velvety nights, Fingers brush with electric lights. In quiet moments, worlds collide, A new love blooms, with arms open wide....

His was an incredible discovery; a phenomenal breakthrough. To cure cancer completely is inconceivable, a naysayer said. It would bring unimaginable joy to many, said his mother. This scientist knew he could always count on her to say the right thing....

A love gone wrong What went wrong between us? Can you tell me? I tried to be all you wanted , but you didn't want to see. I couldn't be myself with you and you didn't even know . You would say things that hurt me, I didn't let it show. I kept my feelings to myself, you didn't seem...
