Her sigh sipped through the leaves
Hinting for the tears to follow
Surrounded by darkness
The definition of hope was forgotten
She stared at the stars
Laughing at yesterdays memory
Stars are just stars
Who was she to make more out of them!
But she would try this last time
“ A friend to talk to is my wish”
She whispered
A distinct voice made her aware of those nearby
Looking up she noticed his smile was peaceful
Even reassuring, it gave her
Hope
Tears of joy rolled down her face
she smiled in return
Only then did she realize
the purpose of the star was
to give hope to those in the darkness
to remind her of the beauty still in the world
and maybe even make her smile.
Vannessa, great job. I love the fist two lines ao much!! I also like, "stars are just stars"
ReplyDeleteme too, that was my favorite part! this is a very nice piece i like the flow...just wondering if the line: A distinct voice made her aware of those nearby is completely necessary in the peice, i feel like it distracts more than it enhances:)
