Determination Poems
From the roots up
by Mario Odekerken
Beneath the soil where secrets sleep,
in shadows dark and silence deep,
a seed once cast without a sound
began to stir beneath the ground.
No witness marked the moment small,
when life first stirred beneath it all,
but roots reached down with quiet grace,
to find their hold,to claim their place.

Was wir müssen,ist nur weiter zu gehen
by Mario Odekerken
Was wir müssen, ist nur weiter zu gehen.
Auch wenn der Weg sich verliert im Nebel
oder im Lärm der Welt.
Keine Karte zeigt,
wohin das führt,
dichtbij die Schritte zählen
mehr als das Ziel.
Manchmal ist Atmen
......
Rubberband Man
by Stewart Watkins
There he is...
On his biz
Unbothered and untethered
After many pernicious pulls and tainty tugs
And so many ghastly grabs and sheisty shrugs
After huge stretches with hopes of breaking
And so much tension, pressure and shaking
Every time!

Ever So Close
by Jada Blue
Heart full of distress.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
As I look into the distance,
I see clear skies
But with hazy vision it seems cloudy.
When will I start to see clearly again
With eyes misty like rain?
I reach up towards the skies
Soon touching solid rain drops.

Determination
by Somali Mukherjee
Dogs shall keep barking;
Still, never let them vex you;
It's your life, for sure.

BEYOND,Into the light
by Ariella Lawal
The world behind-a shadowed cage,
A book still waiting to turn the page...
A child of dust, with a soul untamed,
A spark within, though still unnamed.
Beyond the breakage, beyond the tears,
She rises,facing her fears.
Her soul reaches out, a pull unseen,
The world awaits just beyond her dreams.
