My feet want to move in,
Two different directions,
Pulling and twisting my legs,
Until my limbs,
Are tangled and I can’t move.

My head is split in two,
Trying to pull me apart,
Setting me against one another,
Pitted in a war,
Armies ready,
Soldiers of thought wage war.

My arms are frantically trying to,
Hold my body together,
Find the reason in confusion,
Cease the torment,
Calm the chaos,
And find a path.

Shining on a lifeless shirt,
Arresting your eye,
Stars; a perpetual mobile made
In the night,
From the plaintive melancholy,
Distracted,
From the desolate,
And I place the sequins over my soul,
Hoping it will have that effect.

If you live in a world
where no one grows older,
no one dies,

padding across the forest floor.
The bear and the snake,
they are a perfect team.

The hero of my time,
saving me from the everlasting winter,
The cold winter mornings
bringing nothing but snow,
cold and wet,
soaking through to my toes.
My hero comes speeding in,
bringing the hope that we need
to get us through,
the long and unbearable winter.

I wish;
that I could fly,
to run as fast as the wind,
to disappear in thin air,
to swim like a mermaid,
to see in the dark,
to hear whispers from far away,
to walk down a path at mid-night,
lit only by the moon,
to know what tomorrow may bring;
perhaps someday these things will happen
but for now we can only wait and see.

large, gray, and intelligent,
they sit by the pond;
they relax and soak in the suns warmth;
they remind each other
of the great and wonderful journeys
that they have taken together;
about the times that they ran across fields
and played joyfully as one
because the bonds of friendship are strong
and can never be broken.

The wind was strong as it blew through our hair we ran and jumped and laughed. The playground transformed into our pirate ship sailing through seas of boiling lava. We were so excited, as the sun shined on us not even a storm would be able to stop us. When suddenly a large gust of wind blew right out of the sky, sending us to our ends. We were swimming and swimming in piping hot lava until we happily saw, a way up to our ship! The slide was so long, we had to get up so we tied our…

Yellow, when I’m radiant and sunny and joyful
I feel like the sun ’cause I dance and sing
when I’m warm and full of life.

Vermilion, when I’m angry yet loyal and true
when I listen hard and get my work done
vermilion is the colour I am.
