Diamonds in the Rain (New Poem)




Diamonds in the Rain (new poem)
by Tim Kavi

In the rain of life, we shine bright,

Like diamonds, our strength takes flight,

Though battered, we remain intact,

Our resilience, a priceless act.


Each storm, a chance to refine,

Our inner shine, to realign,

To rise above, to stand tall,

And never falter, never fall.


For diamonds formed, from pressure made,

Our courage forged, by trials we've braved,

Our brilliance shines, through every pain,

A beacon of hope, in life's pouring rain.


So let the storms come, let them pour,

For we are diamonds, forevermore,

And though the rain may try to dim,

Our strength shines on, from within.

writer's comment:  this octet is a testament to human resilience ~~TK

We Found Ourselves (Poem)




We Found Ourselves 
by Tim Kavi

when they said
to stay in our place
we scaled the wall
and we built tools 

technologies to help us
in our journeys

when they said
the world had an edge
we sailed our ships
and traversed the ledge

when they said
the universe was vast
we discovered light speed
and on our way

we encountered our past

when they said
there's no hope
we smiled
at the instructor's ghost

we found ourselves
again and again
riding waves of glory
dancing triumphantly

we made history.
