The Golden Ball

I lay on the car’s sidewalk,
cold and hard.
I gaze up towards the mustard yellow sky.
I see the Golden ball,
It looks towards me,
and waves me a hello.

His golden light signals to me,
enjoy life,
enjoy its moments,
and be calm.

And the leaves on the tree
Flutter
All
The
Way
Down
To the ground
Reminding me of life’s ups and downs.

Clocks

Tick Tock! Tick Tock! says the clock
Bong! Bong! Bong! It chants
counting down the time you have left

before you leave. How much time is left?
Hurry! Hurry! bongs the clock.
Don’t linger too long, it chants

Why do we need the clocks that chant?
Who cares how much time you have left?
Get rid of it! Get rid of the clock!

Trash the clock! You chant. Who cares how much time is left?

Patterns of Ice

Little p a t t e r n s of ICE

Silent

As they
Touch the
Ground
Gatheredup
In Big Soft Mounds

Angels CARVED
Onto it’s skin

Thinking of ALL the

Places
That it’s been
But.
It soon starts to glow!
And the
Grass
Starts to
SHOW
As the sun comes out to
M
E
L
T
It away…….

Rainbows

Colorful sparks fly from clouds
Jumping and leaping as joy and hope
Dark days come and wash the world with dread, then the wind blows down trees
Until a simple POP of color symbolises it is over, and all the colors represent a meaning
Of it’s own
Red is the burning hope and joy,
Orange is the happiness of family and friends,
Yellow is the confidence and energy to move along,
Green is the balance and growth of nature,
Blue is the Wisdom and loyalty,
And
Purple is the creativity and wealth of you even if you don’t know it
Together they make a rainbow, to say there is a new beginning now the world is
washed Free and purified from the harsh rain before it

I Think of the Past

I think of the past
Realizing what they have told me is true
Time goes by fast, running
What was a year ago seems like yesterday
Blending with today

I think of the times when I had no care at all
The old days of fun and no worries like the world was mine.
But now I know that these things are small
In the scheme of the days I still have to come
And I have many things to become

Thoughts scrambling in my mind
With the things I remember
As I think here I find
Time goes by
Fast.
So I think of the past.

“As the moonlight fades”

as the moonlight fades
and the sky starts to sing
today is the day
the day that will bring you your wings

as the moonlight fades
you should become
Stronger
BIGGER
Braver
than you have ever been

for the new day awaits you
drowns you in reality from within
O P E
T P L S you over and over again

some days we hope not to open our eyes
while others will come as quite a surprise

you are as loud as a lion
wise as an owl
embrace yourself no need to scowl

the moon is beginning to fade
and the sun is starting to climb
Now truly is the time

as the moonlight fades
and the sky starts to sing
say today is the day
the day that will bring you your wings

The Ocean

the sound clashes
against the wind
it turns the world
into ashes
walking on the beach
on the silky sand
sinking into the earth
barely on land
the seagulls caw
the fish swim
the wind blows
the waves clash
as they grow
when they fall
the world almost cracks
they stack
and stack
and stack
on top of each other
until they’re so big
they could break a billion twigs
as you leave
the Beautiful place
you hear the Joyful sounds
of Grace
you wish you could store the Happiness
in a case
until later when you need them
to retrace
the path in which
you need to take

LIFE IS LIKE AN ONION

Life is a onion
the onion has multiple layers
so does life
when you peel off a layer
there’s another one to uncover
and each layer is different
like how each moment and emotion is different
and by the time you get to the center
it’s been a long time
and you rise up into the heavens

The finish line

you are starting the race
sweat is already dripping down your face
then you are off
and you are trying to show off

you come upon a rough patch
and then you fall
you need to stand up
you can hear people shouting ¨get up ¨ ¨se lever¨

slowly you get up and think
i am in here for the long haul

then you run
kicking up dust as you run

you are back in the race
catching up with everyone else
then ahead of everyone else
tears fill your eyes
you are so so tired
do not know if you can go any more

pushing yourself to run

the finish line is in sight
you are so close
stumbling you cross the line
everything is over
you hear people celebrating whoah whoah ¨bon travail¨

no more late nights
or stressful days
you are done working till your knees drop

a wave of relief
proudness
happiness
confidence
is washed over you

you have reached your GOAL
so get some rest
because soon there will be a new race you need to beat
