moments

Just something I wrote up today..

You've finally made it
This is where your journey begins

You walk away from this town
Leaving all these precious moments we share,
You give me a hug and a final goodbye
I give you a blank stare

My mind is full of laughs and tears
Thinking of the moments we keep,
Now that your leaving us
It is like those moments were thrown in a heep

Of course I'll see you again
Our paths will cross along the way,
This doesn't mean I'm not gonna miss you
This stare just means I have more to say

Siena Facciolo
Main Street Middle School, Grade 8

Leaping through the tangy grass, sweet from purple rains and folded songs. Smiles bouncing and laughter echoing through the mist, cutting into the flowery air. A crinkle in the eyes of a bluebird, a rustle in the smoky stillness, a delicious aroma wafting down the runaway stream -- these make the golden afternoon.
