Poems

by Lilly, Grade 7

The Sun

The Sun rides

upon the eagle's wings

as it cannot rise alone

The Sun rides

upon the sparrow’s wings

as it cannot fall alone

The Sun waits to

greet the Moon as

he slowly falls away

The Sun rises to

greet a dear friend

he's never met

They share a

smile and slowly

comes the day

Now the sun

needs not the

birds who carry

him, to see his love

The Moon

Whispers

Whispers of the wind.

Can you feel it billowing?

Whispers in your ear.

Can you hear the voice?

Urging you to run quicker?

Urging you to fight?

To be there in time.

To save those quiet voices.

Dare not die alone.

Whispers of the past.

Whispers of the future come.

Dare not go unseen.

Wants to rise again.

Whispers, “I will fight again”.

The Earth comes alive.
