Poems of Jean Rojas

Blue sunrise,

Purple sunset

Our minds play

With colors in the sky

What we see is

Not always what is,

And then we cry

After the laughter

And the bliss…..

 

Your face, I have not seen

And yet your goodness

Comes clean

Through distances and time

Your soul burst forth

Like the light of the sun

Your heart of gold

Will never grow old

For you, these lines

Do virtues find…….

 

Values never die

Compassion runs high

It lives in you,

In your childlike mind

Always the innocent,

Unaware of the sorrows

Of this world

Your smile is sweet enough

To open up a flower’s petals…

 

Those who fail to see the sunrise

Turn around to face the sunset

Those who leave for fear

That they won’t understand

Are the real lost causes

 

You are nature’s love child

Cradled by the blue sunrise

Born out of a rose’s bloom

In the arms of the windy clouds

You will stay,

Never to stray,

Never in pain

Your laughter flows

With the gentle rain….

 

Truly blessed you are,

No sin can ever mar

Your beauty that I love

Here and from afar

Give me the honor

Of  knowing your name

To me it is more important

Than fortune or fame
