Harmless – the Children play
Laughter, and Smiles –
The Children – unknowing
Of Life – all around Them

One – always alone –
Picking at the Sand –
Secluded – the rest ignore
The One left alone

Freak – never ending Sound –
Knowing the Life around –
Be careful – sweet –
Don’t let it – Drown

I was inspired by the prose of Emily Dickenson; enjoy, even if it is darker than what I usually write.

That was exactly what I was thinking when I wrote this piece. My Creative Writing teacher also liked it.
