Micro Poems
Short poems with profound meaning
floating bubbles…
I tell myself
what will be will be
a splash in the pond
breaks the silence…
almost dawn
​
hospital window —
the moonlight
all over her scars
discovering
the path of healing…
one day I stay in the ashes
the next day
I am a phoenix reborn
waving goodbye —
the blossom falls apart
in the light breeze
