SprinklersA Poem by Sylvia ChikaI think I might let the
sprinklers come on But I love the grass
dry Emotions can be
overwhelming Yet strength can be
drawn divinely I’ve traveled far I’ve searched for
the sun Oh! So many paths I
have walked Around and around I
walked A wave at the sea I’ve said hello to
deserts Yet it always seemed like a mirage to me Once I caught a
glimpse of the sunlight I fell in love with
the sunlight I loved the warmth I cherished its
presence But so unfortunate
for me The sunlight
vanished in 360 ways I felt lost Oh! I felt so lost in
the dark Silly me got too
carried away by a light so unreal Its absence dropped
a blanket of darkness Hmmm…I almost gave
up on hope Still I refuse to
let the sprinklers come on I’m standing tall
and grounded like a cedar tree Cos deep in my heart I know it will be ok Yes…tomorrow always
has its blessings
