I Miss It
I sit in the sun
The warm loving sun
And yet curse its radiant rays
I hear the quiet chatter of the birds
But cover my ears in dismay
The palm fronds sway in the breeze
Brushing the painted sky
Yet i would quickly trade it all
To sate a longing sigh
I miss the green, the gray the blue
The mist that covered the ground
The rain, the blessed pouring rain
That made such a calming sound
The mountains that climbed into the sky
Read the rest of the poem Show less
On my every side surround
If only i could wander paths
That the remaining world forgot
Hear the sharp piercing cry
Of the beautiful soaring hawk
I miss the eagle, i miss the bear
The fresh printed tracks of a snowshoe hare
I close my eyes and I'm almost there--
But
I am here, that is there
And for now here is where i will stay
To serve my time beneath the sun
And it's beautiful radiant rays
If you ask me how I'm doing
I'll say fine
Then wipe a tear
From mine eye

About Me
I am a high school student in Hawaii and a military child. What i write tends to be of lesser quality, but i will keep trying and hope that i can learn a lot from all of your guys' criticism. I love to read, write, draw, paint, run, and most of all, play the piano. I have been known to sit down for hours and play and play and play...
Thank you so much for the support everybody! =)
