Lets rest by isyauna shequelle
Lets rest on infant furs of ears
Lets rest for we have to come in on our own
Were are dreams are shown
And that’s who we should follow
Lets rest on the sticky green leaves of our feet
I can feel our warmth on the gritty fur beneath my tounge
Lets listen to the birds sweet warm lungs
Lets rest on one another
On the swampy boggy ground lays my mire nose
Disdain the past and years to come
Look twards the future and see me For I will always be present
And you to me that I shall always play with
Experience my resting feet on the cusp of our victory
The rock
Lets rest and smell the nature cusps or our creative power
And give that power to our dreams for better luch when we
Rest
Things That Keep Me Green By Sam Locker
Do you hear that? The rain tapping on the withered leaf
So close to falling from its branch
Just wanting to be a part of a beautiful wreath
With the rain now coming down like an avalanche
The leaf no longer looking so withered
Standing tall and lean
Happy to be in this wonderful blizzard
That’s what keeps the leaf green
Do you see that? The boy in the corner alone
Sad and scared to face life
In a group of 1, on his own
His rain ran away after a petty strife
But just when it looked that the boy would never be happy
A crowd gathered and asked him to play
He turned and apologized for being so snappy
And told them thank you for making his day
He had family and friends better than anyone had ever seen
That’s what kept the boy green
The Path By Chase Williams
Some paths you follow
Where you may move with peace
To cut from left to right
Just doing as you please
sweeping curves
looking around the bend
No trouble there you can see
No coming to an end
Then comes narrow
Not many choices there
Switchbacks are disclosed
Proceed with care
Cliffs there imposing
Many dangers for fall
Move closely to the inside
Or don't go there at all
You go with someone
Or you may go alone
As the leader or the follower
skills that you must own
as you travel on life's path
Decide where you should go
Make good decisions
as you follow
By Christopher Wharton
Take me to the end of my time
There and back
Driving me crazier and crazier
But a never ending ride I cant help but enjoy
Anger and happiness
Fear and trust
Regret and satisfaction
All feelings I get with you
You’re my brother
And we may not always agree
Brothers fight and bicker
Brothers get upset and jealous
Brothers argue and disagree
But you’re my brother
And we will always stand beside each other
By De'Andre Cowan
Peace nowadays is hard but you got to see it clear
As I look and think about life ,
I realize life is like a fight
That you'll never win
Yes, everyone will die and sin
But the most important thing in that you don’t bend
You'll always get hit but you got to get back up
And live another day and continue
Get past the negative look at in the rearview.
Life is like a forest who gets its trees cut
It just continues it get itself back up
Sometimes you have to stop complaining and suck it up
As I look out to the horizon I notice the peace and quiet
Then I look back at the city and hear and see the riot
A Sight to Behold By Gavin Hargis
Space is infinite void of nothing and everything
The vast reaches show pure opposites of dark and light
Looking upon the stars, oh what a beautiful sight
Wanting to journey upon a planet's ring
The mass of planets alters time and space allowing it to bend
Lightyears pass, the observable universe expands
We sit and watch as the light seeps into our sights
The dots of lights in the dark appear as a splotch of infinite possibilities
Filled with questions of what it, Wondering if there is life upon the stars
Even though the light you see are from stars long past
Their beauty and light still remains, a pleasure to watch the broadcast
Just as they leave a legacy behind so should you
To inspire others, to be gazed upon and not forgotten
To help one find their way in the dark
Just as all the celestial bodies have done,
Emit your ideas and thoughts until the end of your run
One Last Ride By Jackson Gillette
The sun is setting causing the sky to turn bright yellow,
The clouds look as fluffy as a pillow,
The air is quickly turning cold,
The ginormous tree is incredibly old,
The geyser has its hot water spewing,
Before the night ends nature has its one last doing,
Again and again days pass by with little memory
Just living each and every day timidly
People do the same thing day after day
I won't let the day pass by, no not today
The day is almost over
But I will make it as unique as a four leaf clover
Serenity By Maddie Burke
A ray of light glaring off the still water
The calm water slowly getting colder
As the sun says goodbye and footprints fade
Time passes slowly rocking you to sleep
the sun awaits a new day
The sun is setting, growing older
The night will come but pass again
As the moon takes over for a short time, the hope of day will return
As the waves crash harder
And the sun gets farther
You dream of what life would be like
If it were already tomorrow
As the orange shines down with such bliss
It is as sweet as a morning kiss
The day is my safe haven
Tomorrow is only a step away
The Natural Staircase By Thomas Hill
Look out into the distance to find an endless supply of trees
View so pretty it'll put you on your knees
Waterfall wont stop rushing
Be careful near the edge no pushing or shoving
So much to look at you cant describe it all
Rocks are slippery watch your step don’t slip and fall
Green algae as far as the eye can see
Watch out! Don't get stung by that bee
Fresh water as clear as my mind
Make sure you bring a buddy just in case you get in a bind
Get up and smell the fresh air
Watch what you eat you don't want to encounter a bear
Fallen trees and dead leaves decorate the ground
Don't eat your lunch on the ground you might be sitting on an ant mound
Don't bring your good clothes because you're going to get dirty
I definitely recommend to go hiking before the age of thirty
By Jedrick Wills
A waterfall in the distant,
A variety of trees and plants in the near,
You never know when its over it could be instant,
But along the way there are many different things to hear,
The exotic roar of the water and animals.
The soft swift wind swaying through the leaves,
It would be nice to go and just hang from a limb,
Or take a never ending journey throughout the enormous trees.
The drop off is sudden,
You never know when its coming,
Tomorrow isn't promised so always make something out of nothing,
Enjoy every moment like its your last,
Or it will all end oh so very fast.
Sunset at the Canyon By Patrick Railey
On top of the giant rocks
Looking up at the hawks
Breathing in the air
Fresher then my hair
Water way down below
Clearer then the sky
Watch out don't trip
Its a mighty long fall
Sunsets coming quick
Hurry up and take your pics
Skies turning orange
Like an explosion in the sky
All the people
Having a blast
I'm just glad I have my family
All at last
Lost in the Snow By Iain Knight
I am a wanderer through a winter storm
In this storm its easy to lose sight of distant thing
And I forget the times where I was warm
But the times of cold will forever more be lingering
The brief glimpse of light is gone in an instant
I wander through with only my dwindling hope
And even though sometimes the warmth is distant
To find it I will trudge through every slope
This storm of mine never seems to ease
But Sometimes I remember Warmth
I think I can hear laughter in the breeze
I can't let the storm numb me so I set forth
So I will go through this endless storm
Because somehow I know there's something for me
A time and place where its always warm
Now I am just left to wonder when that will be.
The Deeper Meaning By Caroline Mahan
Crystal clear blue skies,
Soft, cotton white clouds,
Sharp, cold air flies,
Animals distant and no longer loud,
Shallow water transparent and blue,
Fading into the darkness beneath,
Small ripples passing through,
On the surface, a meager white ice cap,
Outsiders oblivious to the underwater view,
There is always more than what's seen,
Deeper, more complex reading of everything in life,
Ignorance showing a false scene,
Making assumptions before knowing the whole truth,
The visible part of a person's life,
Only a fraction of what is beneath,
The only way to see the beauty in its entirety,
Continue to go as deep as you can.
Feeling the love....Not By Diontae Washington
Blue skies are fading to red
In the moment there isn't much to be said
Gentle waters all around
You can barley hear a sound
The sun setting is beautiful
But it's just you that my mind is on
Our love is like a sun set
Pretty in the beginning, but then shortly fades to black
Don’t be hard on yourself we could both feel the slack
I fell in love
And now I feel nothing at all
The sun is almost set like my decision
I'm sorry but I must do a revision
Falling out of love is hard
It's a losing game
One I wished I nerved played
Earth's Palette By Dora Swoveland
A highlight breaks the placid skies
Grasses sway in the gentle blow of wind
The dashes of color like different dyes
Hills roll lightly, the Earth's bend
Like the curve of an angel's wing
The heavy scent of a passing storm saturates the air
Blending smoothly with the floral aroma of spring
Light coming in as if to tear
The dark clouds from the verdant plain
Present, like the foreground, shows each pebble, blade, and bloom
Moving on allows what was once a blur to clear
The future will exhume
Life's true design, once distant is now near
Though fear and pain will make you cling
Take a step to leave the storm
See what your life will bring
Ahead in perfect form
Your picture is complete just waiting a frame.
Mix of Both Worlds By Xavier Douglas
I see two beautiful aspects of the world
Some might see anger and some might see defiance
I see possibility folded together ready to be uncurled
This isn't that, this is the gracefulness of science
Sounds of war travel through the hills and valleys
My people stand here preparing for what's to come
They have no fear, preparing to rally
They will encounter war but they will see no crumb
Once nature clashes,
There will be nothing but ashes
But what are those ashes?
They are a starting point for a new surface
This will happen in the life of all humanity
The bad will come,
But the good will eventually come in to play
And on that day we will learn the beauty of nature
Learn to love a mix of both worlds
The Beginning of the End By Evan Angstrom
The Mountains gleam with red light
The snow layers the mountain with powder
This sight beholds much power
The sun is setting it's time for night
When I witness this sight, I feel so intrinsic
Even though these mountains are so simplistic
The clouds hug the mountains with utmost respect
For the animals below the mountains protect
No matter who you are there is always an end
For the sun must go down, it has to descend
As I look through my eyes, The word sadness becomes nominal
For this sight is more than phenomenal
Darkness can sometimes be over whelming
But somewhere the dark is no longer dwelling
The sun is setting, it's time for night
No matter where you are, there will always be light
