The Petal of Youth

By Elijah Corey

Champlain Valley Union High School, Grade 12

Check out his reading here, or at VPR.net where you can see all of the previous selections, too.

 

The petal of youth

Whispers a silent melody.

She blooms in the dead of night,

Alone, surrounded by echoes.

 

Whispers a silent melody,

Deception and confession.

Alone, surrounded by echoes

Of unspoken dreams.

 

Deception and confession,

Fanned by the guilt

Of unspoken dreams,

Held in the moon's gaze.

 

The petal of youth,

She blooms in the dead of night.
