Part of Me

Having some more fun using a song's lyrics syllable pattern here other than the very last line where I had to go 5 syllables rather than 6. I'm so mean as I have no intention to say what song either. If you guess it, I'll write a poem just for you, though, how about that? Not sure that's such a great prize haha

The children are jumping rope here
Each skip on the sidewalk a heartbeat
A small girl drawing lines in chalk
Others play hide and seek

Soon our recess will be over
The bell will ring, we'll go back in
For another lesson to learn
We'll dream at the window
For summer's return

Time suspends in this instant
The loss of the innocent
A child falls down and gasps
The rest crowd around to stare
Teachers unaware
"Are you okay, what's the matter?"
Pale, the boy's hand grasps mine

I peer into his sad blue eyes
Confused, I don't understand in time
Silently I simply stand, see
Watch it all; part of me
Never to forget

Time must move onward, forward
Toward the mundane and plain
Memories in childhood
Bitter splashes on each page
So part of us all
Such pains in our past we recall
We grow up this way

Moonlight Kite

I run with the kite in the field All the stars shining brightly The clear, moon-filled sky's expanse stretches wide String trailing behind me The kite lifts as I tug and pull A sharp jerk, I don't let it go Now, it's soaring high I let out more cord as it sails Above the ground, a sky ship Colorful in day, by night delicate Muted greys swerve and dip Yellow tails flutter from the bow As I slowly release more rope How far can it fly? Morning star on the horizon Near where the sun will be rising Dawn will soon arrive I remove small silver scissors Which glint in the twilight Setting the spool of coil onto the ground I look at the kite Kneeling down on my knees I snip the rope and release "Lord, send my prayers to him please" The kite, now free, rushes away My letter tied up with it sways With all of my hopes Every single word I could say I lay my head down on cool grass To find peace at last
