Grey puffs surround
A shinning silver ornament
This shiny piece represents the
Brightest coin in the sky
Dark pockets peak through clouds
Figures of a child
Who is being pushed onward
Reluctant youth going to
School with fear and excitement
Looming in the heart
Wind blows a new scene
Young teen being twirled
Whisked across the sky
Lighted up by the moon
Moving up into the scene
A tiny bundle being held
Outstretched hand holding up
Brightness surrounds like halo
It’s a family’s hope and joy
Then a gust happens
And a bed appears
At the edge is light and darkness
It’s like a door opened
An invitation to the end
Is extended
Off to the bright future
This cloud will go
About the Creator
Lisa Pulliam
I love making fun of my emotions, feelings, and thoughts in short form writing such as songs and illustrations. I would like to write longer and more explorative pieces for others to read.
