Great news…I found out that my poem “Some Day” has won “2nd Honorable Mention” in the category: “New Poets” in the Oregon Poetry Association’s Fall 2019 contest. I am truly honored.
Someday
| Someday we will be able to think of you and not feel like falling apart. Someday this cavernous pain will wear down along the edges and it won’t seem so dark. Someday we will remember to breathe again. Someday we may go a whole day without thinking of you. Someday we will find our way back to a normal routine. Someday we will find joy in small wonders again. But today we will let the tears flow because today our true north has been scrambled. Today our world and our hearts have been shattered. Today the simplest of tasks seem insurmountable. Today we are lost, holding useless words. Today no amount of sleep can offer us peace. So today we will let the tears flow like rivers to the ocean. We will let them flow as a banner of how much you are loved. In memory of Ricky Lozano, died April 7th 2019, age 30. |
