ELISABETTA BONAPARTE

 


 

Returning To Shine 

 

Be the roar of a wave 

that faces the storm, 

and the might of wind 

that masters the tempest, 

to return to shining 

on the crests of the sea. 

 

Wingbeats 

 

I have seen dreams 

crumble in memory 

like rough-hewn stones 

under the scorch of an arid sun, 

 

rivers run dry 

whose surging waters once roared, 

wild and abundant 

with thoughts never concealed, 

 

wind and storm hit

against the mightiest peaks 

until even the deepest roots 

of principles are torn away. 

 

And yet, 

stubbornly, still flutters 

that wingbeat within the chest— 

a surviving frenzy 

to catch life by surprise.
