A Dangerous Book

A book is not important

It is a rectangle on a shelf.

But a story is full of questions

Things I whisper to myself.

A story is full of magic

And things that hiss and bite.

But if you delve deeper

You'll see things darker than night.

A heart full of darkness

A claw sharper than a knife.

A see those beady eyes,

Then I run for my life.

But these dangers are just stories

Things I cannot touch.

And a story is inside a book

And I know I've read too much.

A book is nothing at all

Just another useless thing.

But never forget the stories

And the dangers that they bring.

Look up at the sky. What are the clouds doing today?

Clouds

They are like feelings

The change throughout the day.

Sometimes big and strong

Sometimes about to float away.

Sometimes you know them

Sometimes you don't.

They are your friends.

Everyone. Everywhere.

Everyone is different

Yet everyone is the same.

Everywhere is somewhere

It is from whence we came.

Nobody is Everyone

We are all ourselves.

Nowhere is Everywhere

We're all books on shelves.

All can sing this song

But no one sings it the same

For we are all different

As is where we came.

We can sing this song.

We can dance this dance.

But our greatest differences

Happened just by chance.

Flowing Through Life

Life is like a waterfall

It continues on and on.

Sometimes there may be drops

Falls that make you cry.

But the best that you can do

Is continue to try.

If life takes a drop

You shouldn't stop.

Continue to flow

You'll know where to go.

And remember always

The water glows.

And no matter where you find yourself

You'll continue to grow.

Fallen Starlight

I look to the sky, but it is black.

I here something behind me

But don't turn back.

I am alone in this world

Until I see

The glimmer of light

Behind the tree.

She is meek and small

And not very tall

But when she turns

I hear her call.

The sound is sweet

And loud and clear

But it's full of sorrow

To my ear.

I know now why the sky is dark

Why I can't hear a

single dog bark.

She is a stranger here

And now I know,

Why the lights all disappear.

She is full of sadness

She is so bright.

For she is the girl

Made of Fallen Starlight.
