Here is a free verse poem I wrote about a decade ago.
The Spark
A child's spirit
open and pure
authentic being
becomes
reigned in
to school years;
finding release
again, in teens.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All around
those succumbed...
too many -
wrong turnings
lessons unlearnt,
clipped wings
dead eyes
............be wise.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will your
need to please,
stifle your voice?
Will you
follow the herd
- afraid of colour?
another
beige mind?
Avoid the hype
- choose well.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dare to be
your self
true
to life;
as, when in love,
regaining wonder
and feeling,
being alive.
This is awesome Amy! 😉
