Community Poem

My home

My school

My own little world

 

The sky

Big trees

Stone houses

 

The world stretches further 

But I love my bubble

And my love 

Stretches farther further

Than words

 

Animals, plants

They are safe 

They are calm

They are beautiful

 

My mind can save the violence

My mind can save the world

Education, bravery, knowledge

Art, logic, creativity

Justice

 

Beauty

Sparkling hearts of sandstone and ruby

Emerald and gold

 

Light dancing across emotion

Changing the way we view life

The way we view the world 

 

The world might stretch

Until the small bubble bursts

But even in silence

There is still the music

Of love

 

Communities

Laughing and talking

Immersing ourselves into each other

Naturally echoing

Echoing, Echoing

I am never part

Of any community

Unless….

 

Someday,

we will all agree

That  we’re together

We will all agree

Someday

 

I want to be a better listener

I want to be a better friend

I want to change the world

And make a print of my hand 

In blood-red ink

On the world

 

I want to change communities for the better

I want to make them beautiful

 

My bubble expands 

The tips of my fingers

Graze the surface

Of nowhere

 

Life is breathed 

Through all sides

 

Love

Love

Love

 

A trusting home

Uniquely beautiful 

Depending on the little lights

Shining

Sparkling Dancing

Within
