The Moon is Always There
My moon is an
Eagle's sharp
eye staring
lovingly
at me.
The moon is like a
blinding red diamond
glittering in the
moon light.
The moon is a
flaming flame
in
a fireplace.
The moon brings juicy
mangos in May
bringing joy and
happiness to the
animals.
The moon takes hatredand madness away
and replaces it
with laughter.

Bubbles in the Deep
The bubbly bubbles
of a flowing river
I dive down
and down
I see fish flowing by
Dolphins rolling by
I pick one up
and take a ride.

My Grandma, the Wild Horse
If my grandma were an
animal she would be a horse,
a wild horse. My grandma is
a horse in the wild, dancing
in the wind. She is black and
brown and had six kids. She
passed away, but her kids are still
running in the wind.
Now she looks down at me from
the sky, watching over me.
My grandma is always with me
in my heart. I will always love
my grandma. I cry a river with
my eyes and fall asleep still
thinking about her.

Peace is the Air and Wind
Peace is
like the sky in
the air
like the wind and
the deep blue sea
the whales make a beautiful sound
the fish are quiet and
the air
is quiet too, like dolphins
are noisy
with their sounds
Peace is like the
clouds moving
in the sky
and the clouds are white
in the sky
the birds tweet and fly
quietly
they fly in a
circle
and so do you.

Africa
I wish to go to Africa, and have the
lions protect me, have the cheetahs
hunt food for me. The elephants keep
me company. The zebras make a
house for me. The buffalo charges
at anything dangerous that gets too close.
The antelope make a bed out of grass. The
bushbuck gets water for me. The hyenas
eat the rest of the food. The giraffe gets
fruit from the trees. And the birds fly in
the sky and watch for danger.

The Palace
Take me away
into the sky
where mountains
look like pebbles
and
where gods
roam free
and at night
one must
be careful for Zeus'
arrow of
lightning.
So dear friend,
take me away.
Til' our
dreams fill
our minds.

My Hand Is A Thunder Bolt
My hand is a thunder bolt.
It
is
a
storm
when
I
get
mad.
It is like a really strong thunder
bolt. When people are asleep it
shatters through the sky.
It flies into the night it also makes
everybody scream. It's like a
clock waking everybody up.
It sees
every
thing
I
see.

Fire Orange
Fire orange love the color she is.
Her hair is like a flame.
All her friends call her Fire.
She wears a fiery fringed coat
an orange shirt
and an orange skirt.
Fire orange is glad for who she is.

Moss Green the Mystical
Green may be envious
but not in all
worlds
In some worlds moss green
is sacred
the hero of colors
balancing, calming
proficiently helping
flow joy
throughout colors
Scintillating bright
moss green is joyful
though may look sad
that's it's outer cover
moss green is vivacious
sparkling bright
If you are too mean
mossy green might bite
Moss green is a helper
of flowing joy
Not just to the colors
to the world
and beyond
Audacious and sweet
moss green
does not understand meanness
for never a soul
with a mean heart
enters the serenity filled
world
where moss green's
heart is
Moss green is mist
floating in an empty forest
Moss on an old log
'tis a trillium in a fog
glistening pure
with mellifluousness

In This Moment of Peace
In this moment of peace
a purple sea-colored dress
flows swiftly above the waves of
the ocean.
In this moment of peace
a lion cub plays with
its brothers and sisters.
In this moment of peace
a clarinet sings through
the valley, the ocean, the mountains,
and me.
In this moment of peace
I'm sitting here with my jacket
wrapped tightly around me, by a
waterfall, a single star above me,
a mossy seat for myself, a strawberry
patch for me to enjoy, and everything
is silent,
very silent.

Time Machine
In a second everything
will change, but I
want to savor this moment
so come here, time machine.
I need you to pause time
so I can remember
this moment, when the sky is blue
and the jaguars play.
Time machine, I want to
remember, not just this
moment, but this day.

You'll Never Find Me
Find me looking up at the stars
in the eye of a tornado.
Find me drawing my house key
so I can find it.
Find me riding my horse while my
heart beats into the night sky.
Find me following swallows
into the clouds.
Find me on a train to nowhere, and
that's where I'll always be, nowhere.

Escaping Life
Soaring through
the air, up high,
watching the process
of life take shape
and change,
knowing that I am
serenely floating
like a feather
on the wind.
Nothing changing
but life, down below
I am free,
flying,
watching everything go on
below me.
Flapping my majestic wings,
I fly,
back to Earth,
though it is only my soul,
seeing these wonders,
My soul,
the golden eagle,
coming back,
to me.
Life returns.

The Broken Friendship Star
The friendship star is broken
It reminds me of my friendship
My friends and me are the triangle stars.
The friendship star is in the middle.
When my friendship was gone
our diamond star shaped
bracelet ripped
then the friendship star broke
the triangle stars were
separated
then the friendship star
exploded.
It was bigger than millions of suns
or even bigger than millions
of suns and moons put together.
It seemed like an earthquake,
Tsunami, hurricane, and a volcano
occurring at the same time.
All I have to do is wait
until a friendship star forms
When it forms I'll get new friends.
When that happens the triangle
stars once will be together again
All that will be like a rainbow with
all the different colors together

Dark and Scary Night
The puppies running away from the dark night.
The leaves hiding from the dark scary night.
The otter swimming away from the darkness.
Fort Bragg is darking out.
The vanilla ice cream hiding inside its box.
The guitar playing sad songs.
Jupiter crying, its heart broken from the scariness.
Hummingbirds flying south, from the ugliness.
over there is nice.
The moon blocking the sun,
to make a dark and scary night.

Broken Glass
millions of pieces,
beauty
millions of pieces,
bright
millions of pieces,
broken
millions of pieces,
scattered
millions of pieces,
sweet
millions of pieces,
loud
millions of pieces,
sad
millions of pieces,
sprinkles
millions of pieces,
like ants working together.

loneliness is silence
loneliness is a dark
quiet forest
loneliness is a tear
running down your cheek
loneliness is only one bird
flying
in the sky
with a thousand clouds.

Look For Me
Look for me
at my old
house at
my old home.
Who I am,
I changed
I'm different
I am not
the same.
Don't look
for me here
this is not
where I am.
Part of me
at my old
home part of
me here.

Tengo Sueños del Sol
You soy la luna azul
yo soy como una flor
Quiero la naturaleza
Tengo sueños del sol
Mi nombre es como el arbol

Right Now
Right now,
a flower bud reveals the flower that has been inside all this time
right now
a small child celebrates his birthday
the day his sweet face lay eyes on the world
right now
an eager butterfly waits to come out of its lonely shell
and show the world its beauty
right now
a baby dolphin leaps out of the water for the first time
ready to take on all the new challenges of the harsh world
right now
a father sits in his jail cell waiting, waiting,
to get out to see his children
right now
anything can happen.

Home for You and Me
I can see a blue planet
surrounded by sparkling water
Land full of creatures
plants for us to eat
Flowering plants that make
it a wonderful land.
Heat form the sun
Light from the moon
for the dark night
It is called Earth
Home for you and me.

Shyness Everywhere
Shyness hides from confidence
Shyness is a mouse hiding from a cat
Shyness says I can't do it
Shyness doesn't let you speak up
Shyness is not the center of attention
Shyness is usually quiet
Shyness gets swept away from the
brave side
Shyness has a hard time getting
to the brave side
Shyness is afraid of the open world

It is 0900 hours at
night. Weapons. Soldiers.
Helicopters shooting from the sky
Missiles drop
Grenades thrown, so
many bullets falling on
the ground. Some hurt.
Some do not survive.
Helicopters fall from the
sky.
Soldiers jumping out
of the helicopter. Heavy
gunners hiding behind a
tree. Snipers on hills
thousands don't come
back. Hundreds of them
survive. Lots of destruction
during the war.
