Favorite Quote:
"You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So... get on your way!" ― Dr. Seuss


Gone

Sealed in a box

Dawn

Not a trace, fear knocks

On the door of hope

Incredible scope

Where's the escape rope?

 

Then a light

Ethereal, bright

Floods fear’s cave

Yearns to save

A crashing wave

It cleanses me of the decay

And I think this all will be okay


The author's comments:

This generation of teens has been through a lot. The Covid pandemic left a lot of us wondering what would happen next. Times were uncertain and scary, especially when everything shut down in 2020. This poem is inspired by these events and the hope we found when things started to get better.
