Poetry: Dreams & hope

Rock Star Dreams

Up on stage and under the lights,
Playing my music makes me feel right.
Drums in the background, a guitar in my hand,
Lead singer in a rock n' roll band.
My own lyrics flowing from my lips,
A pink Fender sitting right on my hips.

But there's no guitar in my hand,
And I'm not in front of a rock n' roll band.
Just standing on stage, singing someone else's words,
Belting out rock songs that everyone's heard.
Just a karaoke star
Singing in a bar,
Dreaming up dreams that seem way too far.

    exchanging views for future days,
    conceding this not yielding that,
    and changing

    HOPE FOR PEACE

    I am not your sister, you are not my brother

    No sibling kinship here

    by Amy Miano

    The wave crashes over me
    And destroys everything in its path.
    Funny how its always on time,
    Just like the changing tides.
