Poetry: Childhood

Hide and Seek

We were just children then
You took my hand in yours so innocently
We raced through the trees
Searching for a place, a sanctuary
Crouching down behind the bush
Gasping for air from laughing
Trying to keep quiet
So that we wouldn't be found
Our hands still held together
By an invisible force
A blush on our cheeks
And dirt covering our pants
You looked at me and I looked at you
Hoping that we could just stay here
Forever and not be found

    I ate my crusts

    As I kissed the stars goodnight
    The moon sang a lullaby
    The sky hung bright
    As sleep grew nigh

    Good night called the moon
    We

    Touch the Sky

    Another day, she wanders by
    Caught in the midst of unfamiliar worlds
    Her beautiful eyes, crystal and blue
    Reflected
