one
one smile begins a friendship
one vote can change a nation
one candle can burn out darkness
one flower can wake the dream
one tree can start a forest
one heart can know what's true
one voice can speak with wisdom
touched by an E-mail-class of 2000

I don't quite remember how I came to love you, but I remember how I came to hate you.
Teressia Jul 2014
I didn't intend to make you my slave of love, but I did anyways,  because that fate has nowhere to go or be.

just a garden of flowers
fresh cool air of new spring
Nature is hard to describe
but the feeling is easy and natural to take in
the blooming of flowers
the sound of bees
the scent of flowers
the smell of grass
the presents of trees
the flow of water in the river
beauty inside beauty is what i call it
you walk down the sidewalk
the clean wind blow into your hair
i get happy over all these
i dont know about you
happy to feel the presents of nature
that's why we should mind
how we live to no harm our nature
i appreciate the enthusiasm that
the birds add to the nature
if i could understand the language of birds
i could sing along with them.

just like am dreaming
i found myself being swallowed by darkness
i put my lamp out
and i tried hard to squeeze my eyes
i can't fall asleep, my bed is made with mud
i can't fall asleep, my mattress is full of dust
i can't fall asleep, mosquitoes are biting me
finally i slowly drift off to sleep
next morning i wake up struggling to breath
as a young girl i had dreams
my ambitions were unreachable in the bare ground of no hopes
i had no home, or a place to call home, or a place to belong.
what the future holds for me became a mystery
i woke up everyday with my dreams in my heart
i only lived to get through each day
in the bare land of no hopes
yet my spirit as young girl did not die
i might have no hope but i had courage to stay strong and high up like air.

oh! my good Mighty tell me
why is this happening again?
tell me am i suppose to take it
or run away from it?
it brought me to tears once
help me sing a song of yes or no
sing along with me today
i want to see the sunrise not the sunset
i broke my wings once and,
with a star guiding me
nothing will be broken again.

tears like rain drops
has the rain stop?
hoping my tears would stop too
i slowly reach for my face
there i still feel my tears
but the rain has stopped
am not very good at titling my works. forgive that.
