The Rock

Watching the cool September water roll off the rocks, I thought back to a time when I was younger. Back to a time when life was easy, when all i thought about was jumping off that large rock protruding out of the coolness of the deep blue lake. Thinking about this I take off my shoes and socks and dip my toes into the water. After I decided that the water was too cold and i didnt want to catch hypothermia, I instead decided that i would just sit on the jagged ill-formed rock and admire the beauty of the surrounding woods and mountain ranges.  As i stood up to leave I looked across the water and saw a whitetail deer running across the shore on the other side. Walking back through the woods towards the car, I heard the birds and squirrels chirping and barking, bidding me a farewell until next time.

I Am Poem

I am crazy and fun
I wonder if the world will really end
I hear nuclear explosions
I see the distant mushroom clouds
I want world peace
I am crazy and fun

I pretend to be a good singer
I feel the rush of the crowd agging me on
I touch a hand in the crowd
I worry they will never understand me
I cry when i am lonely
I am crazy and fun

I understand love is not forever
i say you shoould never stop trying
I dream of flying with the birds
I try to set an example
I hope someday everyone will forgive me
I am crazy and fun
