emily's poems

In Distant Fields

Drums beat to the sound of presence that holds

True to one's heart, that will truly unfold

Because the fog might fade within a trance

Times pass, but some are filled with one more chance

Those times are where persistence will collect

In these minds that are cherished to connect

With each soul resisting fear and despair,

We will test ourselves to breathe more air

A challenge that is resided in such

Brave souls preparing when their lives have touched

Others but are hurt by the memories,

Gather around in this same assembly

One earth has the sky and trees we have seen

One earth with such positive in between

One power destined to attack us with

One power that will not stop us, a myth

A lie that we submit to reaction

Because it was a hard time, a fraction

Of human life being spared to live for

One more try to fight back the thoughts, turned gore

Because as much hate that we show to the self,

The beauty of this land, when we have fell,

It shows how much we should hope when tears

Are displayed because of such a dark fear

Nothing will stop you, your power is there

Even if you do not feel it, you care

You want to get better or fix it all

Even in the climb of such slopes with falls

Every day is a new chance to look

Because your new chapter comes next, your book,

Your sentence is never over. The days

Of light will begin to seek you, and chase

Whenever you feel bad, you will rise

In this dark phase, the goodness will arrive

So, dear human, you feel broken and lost

But it is worth it when you pay those costs,

Take a leap of faith and risk many tries

To pursue your destiny in such lies

You give to yourself when darkness shadows

Be thankful for this time, even when low

And empty phases ride in your dear heart

Because nothing is easy, but one start

Will make all the difference. There is love,

There is goodness, and there is such a grace

Because you have fallen in such a place

Where doubt will overcome the strength to fight

In such a short, or a big, long might

To never give up hope, or at least you

Because such a beauty is within truth

Your feelings are valid and I accept

I am here with you to move on, reflect,

And see the current time and its passion

So many smart minds witnessed dull fashion

Their perspective was once nothing that formed,

Until they made many tries in their storm

To see the rainbow and the clear, blue sky.

Because there are tons of these musical

Arts and other pursuits have rituals

When everything goes smoothly, not rough

You will finally understand how much

The darkness surrounding was worth its time

To reform and make another big climb

Out of such agony. So, human, you

Have so much powers that are so true

Every step taken to know defeat

And victory is worth the retreat

For a phase until you are ready

Take your time, even if it is steady...
