from 9th grade on Monday, May 5th

• The warm smell of barbeque,
  The grass, cleanly cut as I ran over it.
  The laughter of other kids--
  for that moment, I had no cares.

• My head on a fluffy flower pillow,
  bundled in covers upon overs,
  Bach playing soothingly
  in the background,
  keeping me in deep sleep.
  Dreams of what I want my life to be like.

• Laughter, love and wildness filled
  the atmosphere mixed with
  black smoke.
  The fire flickered as we all snickered.
  The wind blew & drew blankets over everyone.
  The smell of warm marshmallows tingled my nose;
  the taste--a great night.

• Her words flowed out of
  her mouth like a waterfall, spilling
  colorful sounds and words into my ears,
  causing my emotions to swell
  & spill out of my eyes,
  just as the words did out of her mouth.
