EverlastingWaves

The daylight is bruised

it hurts more often 

and sinks away

to hurt in peace 

behind the blanket of stars

The mornings are meeker

they shy away

and only peek over the horizon

My friends all speak
of an illness
that spreads
across the world
they giggle at the words
Oh, the horror
four people have it! Ahhh!
I stare at my feet
it really is a big deal
that four people

Hmm
I thought the beach
would welcome you
not shoot sun
into your eyes
I thought that
if you stepped into the waves
and dived under
you would see wonders
but I just see murk
I thought that
the rush of skiing

If the sun 
would never rise
and light the sky
would you still
stand by me?
If the world 
split it two
would you still
love me?
If the clouds
rained on happines
day after day
would you still

I stare at the clouds

Sitting softly in the sky

Above the place I call home

A small swing

Sways slowly

Tied to a tall tree 

The wind whistles

And a leaf falls to the ground

The look of snow

Is only a soft memory

I look up at the sky

And hope to see

The sprinkling white

But all I see

Are the grey clouds

Of smoke

Encircling the sky

Taunting the world
