![]() Elements of Joy/UnrequitedA Poem by Aram Alexander![]() If you weren't the most popular kid in high school, I think you can relate.![]() Today I was jealous of the wind and the rain and the sun. Because the wind caressed your silken hair and made you sigh with contentment, whereas I did not. And then the rain began to fall and kissed your smooth skin and perfect lips a hundred thousand times, whereas I could not. Then once the clouds lifted the sun came out to shine and warm you in its' arms, whereas I have only dreamed of holding you in mine. Finally, a rainbow appeared and made you giggle with childish delight, its' vibrant colours showing me as beautiful a truth as it was painful. Right then I realized that I could never hope to make you feel as alive as the elements, and that's okay. I just want to see you smile. For the wind and the rain and the sun. © 2013 Aram Alexander |
