your vision, your voice
The girl in the shadows.
Who no one truly knows
not a joiner
not a fighter
she does whatever goes
She stands up and does what’s right
and no one knows
Oh how she loves to read and write
and speak
and keep the light
of the world
keep hope alive and everyone fails
to see the hero she can be

Sometimes
Gentle and soft
A breeze in my hair
Other times
Hard and ruthless
Ripping apart everything
In its path
But always wind
Stormy or calm
Carrying scents of the world
In its hands
Always wind.

I’m a spoon
I wish I was a fork,
Or better yet, a spork!
Alas.
I’m stuck spooning up
SCALDING HOT! soup
Or worse
Scooping up
FREEZING COLD! ice-cream
Oh woe is me

It clenches one,
Like a prisoner trying to break free of tight bindings.
But not in an evil or malicious way.
More like a mother holding a child,
Gently, yet tightly, with warmth,
And the water seems to hold one captive,
Not wavering until one requires air,
And they see the liquid,
It’s great drowning force parting to thin skin.
And as one draws breath, the water becomes cold on soft flesh,
As if to spite one for abandonment.

Sometimes I wonder what the world will be like,
one hundred years from now.
Will people have computer chips,
Implanted above the brow?
Will newly found aliens,
To us, perform and bow?
Or will they pen us,
As if we were all cows?
With all these silly thoughts,
I realize how pointless it is to think,
of what the world will be like,
One Hundred Years From Now.

Augustus Gloop loves to feast
On chicken, sausage and other meat
He is chubby, and messy at the table
Bring him a tray with a giant bagel
He will gobble it up with all his might
Not leaving a crumb or sharing a bite.

We have to find Will
Running around recklessly

Oh to be a ball of fluff
It doesn’t even sound like much
But to be a cat
I would enjoy just that
To climb a tree,
Filled with glee
To be a cat
I would enjoy just that
To have nine lives
I could just relive
To be a cat
I would enjoy just that
To get petted nice and snug
I could get a hug
To be a cat
I would enjoy just that

Eternity
Lasting Forever
Going on and on
Starting at the end
Ending at the beginning
So it always repeats
And never ends
Before the world came to be
After it is gone
winding through the grassy plains
Climbing up mountains
Winding through different universes
Oh, It’s forever
Eternity, Eternity
Some love you
Some loathe you
You create age but
Unlike life
You are there
After they are gone

The ice and snow is so great
I can’t wait to go ice skate
Some people hate the ice and snow
and would rather stay inside and drink hot cocoa
The ice and snow is so great
It will be here all winter in this state
but when it has melted all away
all the people will say, see you next winter time
