Storybook characters

Category: Writing and Poetry

Sometimes I wish I understood

Why things go the way they do

Sometimes I wish I understood

Why the sky is not always blue

Sometimes it gray

Sometimes it rains alot

And the sun fades

And the wind blows

Then my eyes close

And I see

Nothing

Nothing but emptiness

From within

And I close my eyes again

And dream

Of soft spring days

That never end

And crisp bright floweres

That never fade

That never wilt

That never shed their leaves

And sweet April days

That always stay

The rain that comes

Sometimes in May

To sweep the flowers away

From one single tear

To many that flow

Down to the bottoms

Of storybook houses

And the lives of the characters

Their names so many

Their lives like mine

So fair away
