Nature's behavior’s 

As friendship turns in seasons 

And seasons into short periods of time 

I rise 

From a caterpillar into

A beautiful butterfly 

Still has some longing to be noticed.

 But if look closely you’ll see something, 

That you thought you’d never come across 

That little girl is still alive 

Will always be there 

At the back of that same room

The same blue lagoon 

The clear water is still beautiful but too deep to - breathe.

The trees roots go -

Down into the earth 

But they chop it down too soon

To see its branches grow

Too late to hear that tap tap tap

Of the green leaves dripping with -

raindrops from a rain storm 

I’ll still be there in the back -

Of the classroom if you want

But before you know it

I’ll be gone

My laughter will haunt you

Until the end of the days

My Baby Blue

I still love you,

but in a different type of way

Like a salty summer taste.

As memories are indelible 

It can run like a river

That’s no debate 

You can’t simply just change your own fate 

With a snap of your finger

 like it’s your maid

But I have to let you go

Glide on the same river 

Like a bird on a pond

As people are fishing on river boats 

Even if my heart won’t let you go far

I can’t bear to stride you around 

I loved you once 

But saying it to you

Sounded like a silly punt

I wish I could love you like that again

But some wishes don’t come true 

So I’ll just keep wishing on that star, 

My baby blue.
