My name is Ava Amara. I am a sophomore Entrepreneurship major and Construction Management minor at Endicott College. I am on the lacrosse team, as well. While I am not pursuing writing as a career, I have a passion for poetry. I find it to be an impactful way to express my thoughts and emotions.

Que Será, Será

The tide rolls in and out
Nothing can disrupt its tune,
We craft our castles in the sand
But, they vanish far too soon.

I’ve fought the rain
I’ve cursed the sky
I’ve begged the night for more time,
Yet time won’t linger for those who ask

The stars don’t ask where they should shine
The wind just knows to blow
The seeds don’t rush to break the soil
They know exactly when to grow

I used to fight for control
To make meaning out of every shift,
To hold in place what could never stay
But I’ve found peace in letting go

So let the river take its course
Let mountains kiss the mist,
The heart beats on, with no remorse
I, too can learn to breathe

And when tomorrow calls my name,
I’ll smile and let it be
What is, what was, what will be,
Que Será, Será
