“Green” by Bryson Schubert
A hundred hues of green dance amidst the breeze
Oh, such would be the bliss if we lived like the trees
The trees that reach toward the light
No branch obscures the way
Lifting their arms to the sky
Yearning for the light of day
And if we were really like the trees
Longing only for the sun
Letting none stop us
We could truly see the glory
Within the life of green

“A Sad Poem”
Time stood still tonight
We laughed so hard, we cried
We cooked and danced across the kitchen floor
You looked beautiful and didn’t even try
Time stood still tonight
We laid in bed and cried
I told you everything would be okay
When we’d have to say goodbye
Time stood still today
When we had to say goodbye
You went off to new adventures
And I went off to cry
Thinking of the times we had
Made me realize
That all the time was gone
The time to laugh
To love
To cry
To wish that time stood still
To have forever just a little longer
To say one last goodbye
– b.m.s.
