I’m sitting here,
Quietly listening.
Your conversation continues.
Though you are next to me,
Your back is turned.
You don’t see me.
It’s as if I am
Invisible.
Here I am again,
Standing against the wall.
You walk around
Chatting happily,
Never noticing me,
Or the tear that almost falls.
It’s as if I am
Invisible.
The walls rise around me.
I am trapped.
There is no way out,
No way past this hurdle.
Despair and negativity;
Hypocrisy and prejudice.
Pitfalls of my own making.
So easily built;
So hard to escape.
I can't get out alone.
I cry to You.
My soul longs for You.
And You are there.
Your gentle hand reaches to me.
I will forever worship You.
Rain
Falling, spinkling, splashing down
Hard to catch, but all around
Soft and wet, cold and cool
Tears making a crystal pool
Washing Earth of dust and grime
Musicl chords, falling in time
Rivers splash, giggling merrily
Glimpses of reflections, you can see, just barely
Thunder arcs across the skys
Shouting it's challange in it's bright, light guise
Rumbling, growling, flashing through clouds
Dancing the sky, in leaps and bounds
Ice. Snow. Frost. Cold.
Wind biting at his gloved hands
Speed. Fast. Sharp corner
Tearing down the mountain
85 miles-per-hour
White. Green. Trees, snow,
Rocks, mixing in a blur
The gold, Olympic gold
Sliding. Skiing. Hovering,
Above the ground
Red flag, blue flag
Back and forth
Never ceasing speed
Never decreasing speed
Left, hard right
The gold, Olympic gold
Broken Trust
Broken trust, like a broken heart.
A guilty conscience is just the start.
Your sorry you did it, but how to say?
This happens almost every day!
Your head starts clouding, as you ask yourself, why?
Why do this thing that makes you cry?
Plus, you’re not the only one that's hurt.
Your friend’s trust is torn, smeared in dirt.
My Friend, The Tree
When my parents first moved here,
The tree was young and tall.
They build the house right next to it,
With him peeking into the hall.
As the years went floating by,
I started to grow up.
I made friends with the tall pine tree,
And together we played a lot.
When I was about the age of ten,
My friend was taller than the house.
I loved to climb up his branches,
And watch my dog that looked as small as a mouse.
Can I live with it?
Put in the water.
Put in the sugar.
And some tea to brew,
some tea to brew!
Add some cream
add some more sugar.
Take a sip!
Take a dip!
Stir it once,
Stir it twice!
Drink it! Drink it!
And be nice!
Whether it be hot
Whether it be cold.
We'll love our tea.
Until we get old!
