Falling from the heavens, like rain

These colors that paint the skies

Auroras, the likes of which you’ve never seen

And, oh, how my heart does sigh

Drizzled colors, of purple and green

And a glint of white, to surprise

Such wonder, I have never seen

And I thank God, for my two eyes

Its brilliance awakens the darkness

As I look up, with high regard

I, the sky watcher, beguiled by the light

Such a beautiful sight for this bard

My heart races

Setting speeds

Blurring faces

Anxious, in the morning air

Wondering, if someone’s there

To quiet, all the fears inside

And comfort me, as I collide

With restlessness, and nervous doubt

Just wondering, what life’s about

I tried to hide behind this tree
And hoped that he would not see me

A hyena is no one’s friend out here
Especially for a meaty hippo, I fear

He’ll make me his dinner, I can’t have that
Maybe I should be trying to chat

With him, before he gets too close
Though he may find me quite morose

Instead, perhaps, I could explain
That I’m no feast, he should abstain

He needs more meat, for his thin frame
Go on, go find some other game!

But silly me, he couldn’t care less
And so to him, I will acquiesce

But wait! He’s leaving, yes! I’m saved
It wasn’t hippo he really craved!

On opposite sides of the fence

Two people, strangers no more

But the wire that stood between them

Was locked, like a rusted old door

Love etched upon the metal bolt

And a date they both knew by heart

One they would never get to

The fence kept them too far apart

Defiant, they pulled on the gate

Hoping, the lock, they could sever

For love can never be kept at bay

When you’re fighting for a forever
