I wrote Spring in Winter
I wrote Winter in Summer
and Fall somewhere in between
the changing weather
The nature in me has its own seasons
I’m not afraid of being forgotten
for my being needs no outside opinions
Things used-to-be and mistaken
no longer have a place in my present
Long gone was their influence on my emotions
I’m now loved and nurtured, every moment
The universe in me creates its own timeline
The inner reservoir in this child’s eyes
masters the healing and grows with pride
as my inner light shines through the night
things soon-to-be have now been realised
The hopes and dreams will soon be revived
in this serene world of my own divine
because it is the life of my own design.
(Outro)
When you lose what needs to be lost
It is actually a gain
You will see right through that pain
That once paralysed your mind
With the now blazing self-respect
Reflected in those eyes.

One Poem Only submissions are open.
I’m filling the next chapter of One Poem Only and would love to include your work. Send me the poem you wrote and want the world to hear. New this round: if you’d like to read your own poem on the podcast, you can. No need for a perfect studio recording—just a clear audio file recorded in a quiet space. If you choose this option, you’ll submit your poem and an audio file of you reading it. Submissions close Thursday, July 30. I’ll respond by August 12. Whether I read your poem or you read it yourself, I’d love to hear what you’re ready to share.
