Emily Hero

Bright, sparkling, hopeful
Laughter fills the room pushing,
Away the darkness
...

Flowing down the page
Running through the lines
Fleeing from the cage
Of syllables of five
...

Lost on the wild wind
The voices of the children
Never to be heard
...

The rain is soft and gentle
Caressing my troubled face
Bringing cold relief
...

If hope is all you need
Take it,
And share with others near
Hold it against your heart
...

The wind blew, like a breath
Across the desert plain.
The sweeping land, which never
Felt the tender kiss of rain.
...

My voice is gone
Away on the
Wind, that took me,
Far away
...
