Carolina De Las Salas Poem
Do dreams come true?
Certain as the sea is blue
I know that somewhere grass is greener
Lands that sleep brings ever nearer
Where rainbows sail across the sky
Just follow them and hope to find
A pot of gold, full, overflowing
With galleons and silver pieces
Good wishes, butterfly kisses
And I will dip my hand inside
To take for me all of what´s mine
But then I wake and it all fades
In light of stark reality
Where everyone and everything
Is so much more intimidating
And every choice, move or decision
Seems like a be all end all mission
So when it comes to push or shove
Moment of truth, ready or not
Will I fall or will I fly?
Will I even dare to try?
To grasp these thoughts and make them real
For they all say don´t think just feel
If you want it then just take it
Neat and simple
Like a dimple
Doesn´t seem so complicated
And still yet I hesitated
It is somewhat paralyzing
All this nonstop analyzing
Evaluating calculating
Listing all the pros and cons
And thousand possible outcomes
Mind keeps spinning round and round
And when it stops what will be found?
I´ll never know with time enough
Doubtlessly hindsight´s the stuff
It makes me yearn and moan if only
This or that I´d not be lonely
So wait not waste not
Seize the day, take a chance
The dawn may change the circumstance
For better or worse
Whatever the course
Just do it, close my eyes and jump
Have faith I will survive sans bumps
And though the landing likely won´t be
Exactly like I pictured it
That doesn´t mean the choice was wrong
‘Cause when all is said and done
I´ll still look back with satisfaction
For I had the strength and gumption
To risk it all, answer the call
To take control
I took the hits
And it was worth it!

Carolina De Las Salas Poem
Colors of the spectrum
Light up my world
Bright rays dancing
Shades enhancing
The kaleidoscope of sound
I can feel it all around
A whisper on the wind
The murmur of the stream
Rustling of leaves
Creaking of the eaves
Roaring of the waves
Cooing of a babe
Birds a chirping
Bees a buzzing
Thunder rumbling
Mountain crumbling
Ringing honking
Beeping thumping
Crashing clanging
Booming bopping
Intermingling all together
In every season, scene or weather
And it echoes in my head
As I lie on heather beds
Such a masterful symphony
Sweetest ever melody,
All the world´s life in harmony.

Carolina De Las Salas Poem
Universe so great and wide
Can barely feel myself inside
Existence insignificant
In this great scheme am I an ant?
What is the purpose, rhyme or reason
For the changing of the seasons?
And can you tell me why it rains
For days on end
Is it a trend?
Will I find out around the bend?
Or will my search be never-ending
The walks of life be aimless wandering
Never knowing up from down
A happy smile or sullen frown?
And will it even really matter
If I never know the answer
No use to wonder
Or moment to ponder
Should haves would haves
May haps could haves
What´s done is done
No turning back
The hands of time
I can´t rewind
So even if I am unsure
The point to keep in mind is this
Right here and now, this very hour
Is all I have and all there is.
