Arrows

 

In this world exists blue arrows,

The arrows of sorrow and stress.

Fired by endless worry and fear,

The anxiety of not passing the test.


In this world exists yellow arrows,

The arrows of emotional sticks and stones.

Fired by betrayals and broken hearts,

And sometimes hurts more than broken bones.


In this world exists red arrows,

The arrows of physical abuse and pain.

Fired by those who think you worthless,

And that violence somehow removes their disdain.


Arrows I have taken throughout my life,

Some fired without remorse or shame.

I would gladly take your arrows and your strife,

But would you do the same?

return

 Return Vibrant skies of fog and mist join the ethereal glow of the moon. When the joy of life continues to exist, and the energetic shouts of fun things soon. My golden bears set their return for glory, grace, and eternal light. Our roaring fire will forever burn, and it will be a wonderful sight. Our plague, our scourge, our test of might Our joy, our blessing, our silver line The world of man will again take flight, and continue on its everlasting incline.

The New Winter

  Remember the times of the old winter? The times without death and restraints? Remember the times of the old winter? The times without the fires and parades? Remember that joyful time? Running and playing without fear? Remember that lovely time? Being close to all we hold dear? Now the new winter arrives. No more fun or safety. Now the darkness thrives. Dwindling hopes of longevity. Perhaps one day all will end. When old winter has its return. Perhaps one day we can mend. When the fire no longer burns.

The Summer

  As the blooming spring draws to an end, The summer squirrels come out to play. The blazing sun shines over the land, Warming the Earth all through the day. From the refreshing pools to the splashing waves, The cool, clear water is our best friend. We enjoy the slides and the tropical caves, The summer seems to have no end. Smoothies, shades, and sleepless nights, The DJ plays music until dawn. Vacation, adventures, red-eye flights What will we do when summer is gone? Summer is the true time of freedom, Without the restraints of school and work. With parties all night and days of fun, Until the time when fall again lurks.
