Paper Things - An original poem
Hey sweeties! We love this poem, written by Kali C., a GL reader just like you. Please leave your critiques in the comments.
Paper Things
The hopes and dreams
Of livings things
Were carried up
On paper wings.
Through the sky,
These pages soared,
Protecting truth from lie
With paper swords.
In the mind
The parchment bloomed
With words so kind,
Paper forms assumed.
Down the rivers
Thin pieces floated,
Keeping safe the givers
Of lights in paper coated.
The death and sorrow –
Sadly carried, black in print –
Would also come were it tomorrow,
But at paper hope they would still hint.
Life is sheltered
Within the scrolls,
Safe and sound,
With paper souls.
All the words
Upon the page,
Were written by non-paper people,
Trapped
within
a
paper
cage.
