THOUGHTS

Teacher Ms. Jolyn Ong

My thoughts wander
Like wild flowers
Growing wherever they please
Ruled by their determination
To break
from the bonds of reality

Just as spring has come
The flowers bloom in abundance
Their fragrance fills
the vast empty spaces on my mind

So wild yet so tame
They roam
the fields of my consciousness
So restless yet so peaceful
They dance
to the winds of my memories

And as I lay my head down to rest
Fall draws near
Flowers wither away
Petal after petal
They fall to the ground
Leaving nothing but their lasting scent
Luring me into sweet slumber
