Erica Drayton Writes

The river raged with souls untamed
Of those who never had a name,
They must go where the water takes them
Hoping home will come again.

Take them to an unknown place
Where everyone has a face,
And speaking truth is met with grace
To get there we must stop this chase.

Now the raging river has calmed
To let us through the great beyond,
Please wait for me if you get there first
I’m drowning yet I feel such thirst.

Against the river we all must go
Fear not the dangers of below
It is safer than you know.

She | A 100 Word Story

#364 National Poetry Month – 30 Days 30 Poems

She ran like the wind when no one was chasin’
Not a care in the world when things were easy.
And she jokes with her friends at the end of the day,
They’re gone now—in her heart they stay.

She says when she grows up she’ll still laugh and smile
But she’s changed—she’s not the same.
And the friends in her life, they come and they go,
She can’t help herself, they need her, she knows.

At the end of her life she’ll sit down and say
It was fun, I was happy,
I did it my way.
