Literature Text

Sometimes, when I get a chance to think
I like to imagine what it would feel like to be free
To close my eyes, and feel the wind in my face
The dirt in my toes
To be able to hear petals falling to the ground
And the birds singing in the trees
The hum of the bees
To be something else
To be the wind
To be the snow
To be the sun
To be able to soar among the birds
Flying away
And never looking back
If the sky is the limit
How far does it go?
How far can it reach?
If my feet are bound to the ground
What will I do
How will I fly?
To hear nothing but the roar of the ocean shores
The whistle of the breeze
To smell
The tang of salt
To feel
The spray of mist
The sand in your toes
To spin, and keep spinning
Till the world comes together
To form a blur
As you spin,
As you twirl,
As it all comes together
It will all make sense
And crash down on you with the force of a wave
And the strength of a storm
And the weight of the snow
Will you be swept off your feet?
Or be swept away?
Please read description!

I didn't know whether to put this in emotional or nature, then I settled on emotional...gah I'm so bad at picking categories.

This was my first poem. Ever, that I had done without being homework (and all my homework poems were limericks from grade 5)

Not too bad for a first poem I think.

Critique welcome. :)

And, of course :iconstopsopa1plz:
