Noah has written a couple poems which I want folks to get a chance to read. He’s a high school student, whose folks Barry and Lisa, and sister Emily belong to our family of choice. I like how these poems make you feel as though you’re on the beach or feeling the onset of night as well as the poet. There’s also a mystery about who are the two of the last line of ”Across the Silent Seas.”
Across the Silent Seas
Sand between their feet
The water on their toes
The Sun Blazing hot
The Palm Trees grow
The gentle breeze
Across the silent seas
Four foot prints on the shore
This place would be called home
And neither would like more
Rise and Fall (Day and Night)
When the sun rises,
So do the rest,
From their needed slumber,
Their comforting rest.
The Light from the sun
Shines through the trees
Casting shadows on the ground
From branches and leaves
When darkness comes
the rest follow
The Suns light
The night swallows
When light is dim
And nearly out of sight
They all sleep
In the eternal night
