A Thousand Miles
Skylinn Swanson Apr 2011
How long would it take to travel A Thousand Miles?
Would it be worth the time contributed?
How would you travel those miles?
Would you take a boat? Walk? Run? Drive?
Could it make a difference in the outcome?
Nobody knows the answer to any question
Until they travel A Thousand Miles.
A journey of A Thousand Miles, begins with ONE step.

Pieces
Skylinn Swanson Apr 2011
The day begins grins from ear to ear.
Then tension tangles into the terrific day.
An explosion of feelings let out in one; anger.
For all to see, nothing is held back.
Possessions are broken, feelings are fought;
People are hurt when children can't be taught.
To all the families having to re-live  everyday
I truly feel remorse.
And the day ends with nothing more than
Pieces
Please let me know what you think through any critiquing you feel necessary. Thank you.

The Farmer
Skylinn Swanson Apr 2011
Prior to the orange sky
I rise, putting on my blue jeans.
Much to do in the vast fields.
The golden stalks brush my shoulders
while there is no time to breathe.
Working from rise to set.
No gray cityman could comprehend.
Please let me know what you think, and don't be afraid to critique. Thank you.

— The End —
