Poetry
Sometimes we connect in the dark and other times in the light. These poems usually touch on both. If any of these speak to you, please comment below. I’d love to hear from you.

One Young One Old
Through your eyes I see a world so green
You fill me with hope and peace that has yet to be seen
Innocence so young
In a world so full
What is untold
Can be rigged and bold
It’s not about what is unsaid
But what is shared between two souls
ONE YOUNG
ONE OLD
My story my own
But it bleeds into my own
We hurt we pray
We laugh we play
ONE YOUNG
ONE OLD
As our story unfolds, Truths be told
We are connected
Now not as YOUNG
Not quite so OLD
Live in Peace, comfort your heart my friend
For now we write our chapters of Growth
So strong with waves up and down
GROW YOUNG
GROW OLD
A Story is Told

Shine
The graves are deep
Or so they seemed
Knife like wounds to one’s eye One’s soul
We never spoke of those things we’d seen
…My heart skips a beat
Now a thousand times a minute
Silenced I am
Through word and thought
…I cut like a knife
Silenced I am not
Ripe with Fruits of her labour
She shines
She shines bright
-Naomi Fong
Sun and Moon
Sun and Moon
Guided by light
Break through the clouds
A new day begins
Love and Faith
My heart mending
Scars that will stand the test of time
I bleed
I emanate
I see you
You see me
Exposed
Vulnerable
Take time to see
Imperfect and flawed
Passionate and focused
Determined to bounce back
Integrate
Reflections are strong
Sometimes more than we can see
The Inner Divine
My soul Reaches
For the acceptance of me
-Naomi Fong
Search and Rescue
Do not be afraid
I am here In your hour of darkness It all leads up to this moment I am here
The moment passes I fall back into the shadows Should I be afraid? It settles in…or does it?
Pain Do not be afraid?
Who is here?
In my hour of darkness
It all leads up to this moment
Blood, sweat, tears
I thought I had no fears
Time has passed
I’ve learned to look within
A man so strong
A man I’ve ALWAYS been.
Vulnerable now I’ve learned to be
So that others may live
Others may see.
-Naomi Fong
Determined to Fight
The battle is within sight
As comrades unite
-Naomi Fong
