We’re bornAt the bottom of a waterfall Life ticks alongIn the spraySome hear the thunder early onThey weave their baskets,Eyes flitting to the top Others scoffThey turn their backs and look awayHow calm the river isThis way, they say For them, life definedBy a single choice madeA choice to stayWhere the water has no sway […]

Sibling Poetry Trade: Daydream (Poem)
“Describe something you’ve daydreamed in the last week” SweetLike warm honeyA baked brieDrizzled in dreams And winter pineNeedles brush your skinThe taste of ginWhere the air is crisp and thin And snowy drivesWhere all is whiteAnd quietAnd you’re on the way home -LS
