Day 10 : Write a Short Poem 
16th August 2013

This is completely random. Gonna challenge myself to come up with a poem on the spot. Honestly, I used to write lots and lots of poems a few years back, it was a way of expression and the words would come freely. I haven't done it in a long time, so the poetic chamber of my brain is undoubtedly rusty (and sleepy because it's 1am!). Gonna give it a shot anyway!

Dark is her surroundings, and silence is heightened
She glances out the window, the vast sky comes into view
Stars are twinkling, because of their company the moon seems to brighten
The constructed thoughts filled her mind
And as quickly as they came, so away they flew. 

When a pebble hits a water's surface
So do ripples form
They spread out in circles, floating out in gentle waves 
When a pebble is thrown at a tree, it's leaves rustle wildly
As if to protest in anger 
The disruption that invaded their moments of serenity.

When thoughts occupy a person's mind
It is difficult to erase away
This time they caused her pain and worry, 
But on the outside, she had to pretend to be fine. 

Those thoughts once brought her unending happiness
She felt like dancing around barefoot across the empty room
When reality decided to act out it's own plan, 
Sunny days came and gone, the impeding rain brought with it a face of ultimate gloom. 

Looking up at the stars,
She realized it was midnight, the clock had struck twelve
Holding the delicate dreams in her heart, she closed her eyes and made a wish
Whispered to the stars what she yearned for, a secret only to herself. 
She hoped one day the wishes would finally come true
Them maybe her dark grey skies would transform into a bright sky blue. 

I know this is cheesy, but hey, its the middle of the night. Got inspired by the scene outside my window (which is nothing more than darkness and street lights now). I have got to emphasize again, that I have not attempted a poem in ages. Do bear with me, and I'll be back with a post very soon. Happy weekends everyone! :D
