Embracing the Unseen

Marlon Salem Gruezo-Bondroff

Philippines-USA

In moon-kissed nights, I wove my dreams,

Threads of hope spun from stardust streams.

Yet life’s loom played tricks, threads frayed,

Dreams unraveled, hopes betrayed.

A painter’s palette, colors bright,

I dreamed of skies ablaze with light.

But canvas cracked, my brush grew still,

Unmet hues whispered, “Find new thrill.”

I yearned for sails on boundless seas,

To chase horizons, feel the breeze.

Yet storms veiled stars, maps torn apart,

Unfulfilled compass, a change of heart.

Words danced within, ink poised to flow,

A poet’s soul seeking depths below.

But silence echoed, pages blank,

Unmet rhymes whispered, “Create anew.”

Wings clipped, I gazed at skies denied,

Dreams aloft, like sparrows in flight.

Yet acceptance bloomed, a gentle grace,

Unmet dreams cradled, finding their place.
