Riley Lavender: Favorites

trapped in loops
reliving the same days
over and over.

the same sights
the same thoughts
the same actions
round and round
we go.

if we get through
today
our dreams will
definitely come true
tomorrow.

Gray

My world has faded
to the color gray.
I shouldn't have
to feel this way.
My heart is broken
and I begin to cry.
These tears just
don't seem to dry.
My life seems to be
going down the drain,
and you obviously
don't see my pain.
My hopes and dreams
are long and gone,
what have I ever
done so wrong?
My world is fading
to the color of gray,
why must I
feel this way?

We are encased in aging flesh.
BUT IT DOES NOT DEFINE WHO WE ARE.

I'm not speaking of physical beauty.
But of a heart that loves all
no matter age, race, color, creed.

The ability to love is ultimately

BEAUTY

small is beautiful

I am treated as small and insignificant
many feet tread on me

I have been around for millions of years,
I have been a mountain, a boulder, a stone,
and finally a grain of sand.

I am small but beautiful.
now, I can catch the light of the sun,
and let the light in.
