My Poems from Not A Bad Word 21/10/25

 Waiting

I’m the new dawn, waiting to rise

I’m the truth, piercing the lies


I’m a church bell, waiting to ring

I’m a soloist, waiting to sing


I’m a plant, waiting to bud

I’m a lotus, grown from the mud


I’m a door waiting to open

I’m a life spent always hoping


I’m a rainbow crossing the sky

I’m a seeker, asking why


I’m locked up waiting to be free

I’m a dream of liberty


I’m the light in a darkened room

I’m the sunlight piercing the gloom

 

I’m a heart, waiting to break

I’m the moon’s reflection on a lake


I’m a painting, waiting to be hung

I’m old, wishing I was young


I’m a branch, waiting for the lark

I’m stars in the sky, waiting for the dark


I’m two lovers, who’ve never met

I’m the sun waiting to set.

le poisson dans la roche

Un million d'années ont passes.

Un squelette fossile

a laissé un écho.

 

Que s'est-il passé ?

Elle a nagé, pondu ses œufs,

 respiré par ses branchies,

 battu de la queue.

 

Et un jour, elle s'est allongée

 dans le sable.

Son corps était enveloppé,

absorbé, une empreinte,

un schéma de sa vie

s'est créé.

 

Et le temps a passé…

  

the fish in the rock

 

A million years have passed.

A fossil skeleton

has left an echo.

 

What happened?

She swam,

she laid her eggs,

she breathed through her gills

she flapped her tail

 

until one day she lay down

in the sand,

her body was enveloped,

absorbed, an imprint.                            

a pattern of her life

was created

 

and time passed...
