Girl.
Here's another poem for you to read..
The girl held fire in her eyes.
The girl held fire in her eyes.
She said, One day I’ll die, but not tonight.
Her soft hands waved tomorrow away
And air croaked from her frail body
As she said, Not today, not today.
The girl held strength in her motion.
She said, Just one more push, I live for today.
The rusty hands of father time creaked
As the hour bred two, and two, three.
She said, Tomorrow I’ll shine, tomorrow I’ll feel.
The girl buried emotion in her heart.
She said, Not for you, not for anyone.
Her feet blistered from the grains of sand
As she burned life with every footstep.
The sea salt air smells like silence, she said.
The girl built a fort on white gold sand,
The girl wanted to hear the waves orchestrate.
The girl was invincible.
The girl fought hard for time to slow,
The girl didn’t hear the waves blow
Against her fort on white gold sand.
