Standing Ovations Poem by Benjamin Chiu Uy

Standing Ovations

Something inside, the spirit of joy,
The politics, the dynamics,
social engagements,
wholely human,
understandable,

As the room, the rising temperature inside,
vibrating with laughters,
interested,
her wits,
her grasps of the discussions,
Ouestions and answers,

All through the mirths and the applause,
All through the alleyways of life and solutions,

The foot troded on some unforgettable grounds on the grand stage,

Which a performer leaves and reveals her greatest secrets,
disappointments, fears and eventual truimphs,
her greatest performances,
thus farin her late life,

Unaffected by this shadows of her pasts,
Bashing now in the glare of the limelights,

Crossed straits and narrow channels,
Pasts winds and flutters of sails,
straight to the hearts of her listeners,
The arrival,
Where she is now recieving
her standing ovations.

Now she hot imparting thirsts with knowledge,
Informations and giving instructions,

Now as one of us tonight,
we're proud of her accomplishments,
pursuits,
humanly possible,
the impossible,
