Time always passes
It will not stop
Beauty can only be perceived in fleeting moments
And finding them
Is what life is for
A flower can save a life

Each soul has a melody
There are words in our mind, on our tongue,
Our hearts all share man's true rhythm,
It's been beating since this world had begun,
And some will ignore
Or ask us what for,
Wonder why we believe in chance,
And they will go,
But even then they will know,
There are songs so that man may dance

There is murmuring
Completely surrounding
The vessel of my mind
Imaginary places
Occupying stationary spaces
Hiding behind my eyes
Words no one said
Envelop my head
And leave my real eyes blind
Trying to know
What I lost long ago
But the past is so hard to find

Sometimes words just can't say what you feel
And the most beautiful poetry is

the tears sliding down your cheeks

the memory of being too small to understand anything but a smile

holding someone's hand for the first time

the pain no one can really put into words, when you lose the most important person in the world

The daydreams and nightdreams and everything else inbetween

And knowing you are loved

Extrapolating from tomorrow
the sun will be in the sky
The birds and the bees
Will do as they please
For they have never asked why
Extrapolating from what's borrowed
We know this world is nigh
But they say we'll be saved
For love and His grace
No matter your faith or your crimes
Extrapolating from what was lost
It will never come back
But diffrent things
Children then wings
Will replace what it is you now lack
Extrapolating from what cost
We have paid for others
We are owed back tenfold
But don't want any gold
Just the love of our brothers

Swing me low, swing me high,
Push me up into the sky,
And if I fall away,
Away from sun, away from day,
Pick me up and lay me down
Upon the bed of autumn's crown

"Now cracks a noble heart. Goodnight, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest"
I spoke as Hamlet died in my arms
Both the man and the play were finished today
And I was the only one to survive it
I sat at my desk in silence
The death of my lord,
My best friend,
Still heavy in my heart
And my teacher walked outside for water
And it was so noisy around me
But my soul was still giving it's respects
When I heard my name
She beckoned me to her
I left the class room,
Hamlet's only pallbearer,
And she pointed
And in a hole at the corner of the building
Sat something so precious
Peeking her little head out curiously
And with just a glance in my direction
The kitten hiding in the school building
Took the other end of hamlet's coffin
And Meleanie helped me to lift my side
And we laid him to rest in that hole of the building
Together
We finished hamlet in English today, I read for Horatio. After we had finished, my English teacher went to fill up her water bottle in the next door sink, but when she was outside she called me out to her, and pointed out the cat. She told me she noticed it the other day and had left it some chicken the night before. Then she smiled at me, big and wide, this 62 year old woman who experiences life so joyously like a child, yet can seem to read my mind as easily as she can shakespeare
