a 12 year old 7 th grader showed me these, and I asked if I could publish them on my blog:
SOLEMNLY
darkness floods into the earth
like lightning strikes a cabin.
father Moon guides his children
like a dog guards her pups.
stars tell stories yo those who feel lost.
snow is like a map,
revealing the paths of others.
rain is the tears of grief
from shame herself.
REVEALING:
a weapon is only for the ones who fear danger.
Curtains are for the ones who feel unprotected.
Notes are used for the forgetful.
Gardening is done by the ones who feel the earth is ugly.
Leaders are for the ones who feel they can't do it on their own.
Thievery is for the people who feel helpless.
Drugs are for the ones who feel like giving up hope.
Hope is for the ones who know there is a way,
a light.
