Modeled after Tennyson

In my Brit Lit class we are studying Tennyson and his poem "In Memoriam" and we had to write 4 stanzas that were similar in feeling and rhyme scheme to his. I wrote about when I was younger and the feelings I had after we moved. It was indeed a dark period in my life and when I would get upset I would go outside during the night and pray and cry and write poetry. It was during these times that I actually came to rely on my Savior and felt His love for me. No amout of words can convey the deepness of my sorrow, but this is a little piece of it.

Stars above twinkle in ubelief
Grass below whispers of new frost
The wind tears away what's already lost
And the soul tries to forget its grief

A place so foreign, so odd, so new
A place that drains emotions from
The hope that someone will finally come
To wipe away tears as thick as dew

"Someone, please someone," the heart cries out
And outstreched is held a hopeful hand
For anyone who might understand
The hand's filled with hope, but the mind with doubt

The cold and dark are slowly torn
And eyes search to see who will heal
The eyes can't see, but the heart can feel
The Savior on who all cares are born

Once upon a time....

Once upon a time I decided to be a writer. Well, that being the life goal, but who knows how long to get there. Anyway I've never had a blog before so I decided to give it a whirl because one becomes a great writer by writing. I figure I won't ever see any of you ever who are reading this and if you hate what I write it doesn't matter....it will only make me better. So I guess welcome to my blog and everything that goes along with all that jazz and leave me comments.....try not to be too mean, but tell me what you like and what you don't like. okay well that's all for now.....Have a wonderful day.....3 days until Christmas!

Broken Stars

I wrote this a long time ago and my fabulous friend Tiffany wrote music for it on the guitar and she sings it too porque she is a fabulous singer.

I keep waking up cold and tired
Cause the thoughts of you won't let me sleep
and now that I"m alone
I spend my nights looking at the sky
Searching the stars for something more
An answer to the question I can't ask.

They I see a star shoot across the night
and I start to make my only wish
but then I notice it's just another broken star
falling apart like you and I
In a moment it's gone and I'm left to wonder
if the same thing will happen to us.

All I want is a storm to come
to hide the stars from my view
because seeing them reminds me of you
and I don't think my heart
can stand breaking again.
As the stars are falling from the sky
I wonder if you're watching all this too.

The stars are fading away now and leaving me alone again
but as the sun shines down, my broken heart knows
there will be another night
Another black night filled with thoughts of you
and broken stars falling from the skies.
