writing her storyA Poem by Shannon
A young girl once sat
Upon a rustic seat And there was a journal On top of her lap so neat Her ankles where crossed Her hair was curled And yet she sat and watched As the other young women danced and whirled writing her story A young man inquisitive so Approached her shyly Nowhere else to go And he peered over her shoulder slyly Asking what interested her so She merely muttered Between the scratch of paper and pen Writing my story again and again The lads eyes scanned the pages And deep within a spark began to shine And as she wrote, so the spark grew "Lady, please, your hand must be mine" And so her features showed what she knew entertwining their story now His heart glowed warm From within its pink chest And so he took her arm And so she danced with the best Her dress twirling, amongst a crowd All watching her coming and going the silence making her footsteps loud Stories carry-on on their own For we all end up as stories When our time comes to an end So grow a few morning glories And be ready for whats around the bend... © 2010 Shannon |
