| The Dove The Dove flew with all its might It flew for days It flew for nights Until one day, it come upon A fig tree to rest on As it landed on that tree It knew it could not stay for long So the Dove it took a leaf And then it flew from that tree Over the sea's it flew once more To the place it was before There it saw his hand reach out which the Dove did land upon With all its grace And all its might It fufilled what God knew was right. -Kira Marriner |
| I Walk Alone Unwilling I walk alone unwilling As I do day to day Where I'm headed I do not know Do I stay? The fear I feel inside me It grows in potency I reach but I feel nothing Are you here with me? My path is long and hard I walk it every day I pray I take the right turns Do you lead me? With my eye's I do not see you But in my heart I feel you I know your always here with me Are you loving me? Then I hear your gentle voice I feel your presence near I listen with all my heart Do you hear? Yes my child I hear you Yes my child I lead you Yes my child I'm always loving you For I am every where. But it is you that needs to listen And you that needs to follow And you that must believe Or else it means nothing. -Kira Marriner |
| Why? Great grandfather Why is the grass so green? Why can't it be blue, red, pink or purple? And why grandfather Do birds fly insted of just walk? And why do they build their nests in trees? And why grandfather Are trutles so slow? Why don't they go faster? And why grandfather Do clouds stay in the sky? How do they stay up there? And why grandfather Do socks get stinky? And smelly? And why grandfather Do you sit in that rocking chair? All day? And why grandfather Do people grow old? And not live forever? And why grandfather Do cows go moo? Instead of oink, nay or cluck? And why grandfather Do people have hair? Instead of fur or feathers? Why grandfather why? Because God intended it that way. But grandfather why? Shut up! Ok. -Kira Marriner |
| Shadows loom in the death of night Not a sound is heard Silence so deafening it brings pain to the ears of all who listen Cold and unfeeling But a heart beat, a single heart beat begins to thump Weak and shallow it stirs As if the never ending darkness threatens to smother it away Bringing sweet silence again "Why did you leave me?" She screams into the dark hole before her She wishes it to consume her, To tak her over and swallow the pain that threatens her heart Never to feel again But she knows well enough that cannot be so So she remains, in the dark depths of her suffering soul Forever lost in her own pain and torment Always to be alone -Kira Marriner |
