Poetry: Reflections from The Rooftoppers



Hello everyone!
Here is a recent poem I wrote based on the novel, 'The Rooftoppers' by Katherine Rundell. For fellow cello lovers, musicians, or just readers in general, it's a fun read with an amazing voice and a keen sense of imagination.You should check it out! Thanks!

above the sleeping city,
atop the rooftops where
a girl looks for her mother
as her cello plays somewhere.

her heart is pounding faster,
her feet can scarce keep pace
the dreams of her existence
were to come now face to face.

perhaps this was the moment,
her body quaked and shivered.
she'd finally meet the woman
who released her to the river.

My Reflections: In the Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day



Life has been busy lately, but I don't think I've enjoyed all its diversity up until now! I can feel myself changing as a new sense of confidence takes on, a new love for learning, and a strange inner thrill to seek adventure and chase the lions in my path. But yet... I also feel trapped; a contrast of doubts bid me to stay confined to what I know, what's safe and sound. But without risks, where would there be adventure? 

These coming months of preparation for the future keep me intrigued and hesitant, but I am determined to pursue what is laid before me... though everything within me screams against it, I will attain my goals, because I'm a lion chaser.
