BURNING SYMPHONY I slumped down on the hardwood bench Tired of being everyone’s punching bag Nothing in my life was smooth water. I looked down at the dove white keys Separated by the midnight black ones I closed my eyes as my soft finger Landed on the icy cold keys Giving it a chance to be heard Just as I would to meeting someone for the first time. The sound echoed, similar to rippling water My other fingers began to play on the frostbitten keys Making beautiful sounds as it pops out of its eternal winter. Soon my fingers twirl like a ballerina Spinning, skipping, and jumping across the snow like keys They soar like millions of sparks Pressing harder and faster Almost feeling hot as lava. PIECES OF YOU You are like a puzzle So unique in your own way. With colors and shapes That piece together who you are. And the puzzle is bot complete Until you place the last piece In the correct spot To show the work of art You become. DIFFERENT Stargazer lilies sprouting in a summer garden;
Growing a little each day. Sunlight shining over the leaves; Water pouring down, giving life to them. All mature and ready to begin blooming color; Giving the world something to smile about. However, one is late and is not opening; For it is still growing and taking its time. The first one dies, and the others follow its lead; But left the slow one behind. And…Oh my! What colors it shows; It just needed a little extra time to grow.
