A little Gray Building

93

Light

Xavier Ramirez | 7th Grade, Room 27

Soaring through space

Untouchable, unseeable, yet containing a certain glow,

Filled with color, in an endless race

Never ceasing—running at an unmatchable pace,

Filling worlds, then flying off, and time seems to slow

Soaring through space

Bringing color to your curtains, bed, and face,

Caressing, blanketing, then flying out, away like a sparrow

Filled with color, in an endless race

Coming and going, leaving no trace,

Other than the white in the snow,

Soaring through space

When night falls the light leaves, and colors erase,

Fleeing into shadow,

Soaring through space,

Filled with color, in an endless race.
