Nature's Touch

Please, oh, nature
Touch me with your beauty
Fill my lungs with fresh air
My nose with the scent of wildflowers

Please, oh, nature
Capture me with your beauty
Mesmerize my eyes with glistening water
My white skin with the scorching sun

Please, oh, nature
Make my mind wander with your beauty
Release my emotions with the serenity of the wind
My anxieties with the therapy of silence

Please, oh, nature
Take me with your beauty
And never let me go

Hidden Truth

a poetic response to the novel, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Hidden in the mind
Covered by the myths
A boy with a reputation
Yet a boy with potential
He is analytical
Systematic
Logical
Yet viewed from the world
He is troubled
Different
Atypical
He questions many things
Yet understands much more

Our world, our generation
So extremely judgmental
When something's not right
Unusual
Curious
It appears imperfect
Unworthy
Disgraceful
But hidden under the myths
We find the truth

And so we have this boy
With a vast facade
Because he dislikes yellow
And hates to be touched
But under the mask
Is a human with a mind
Feelings
Integrity
