A Poem
By Shakeel Thomas
(a 14-year-old poet)
As we live our lives
we are constantly hit by waves of emotion
The grandest of them- nostalgia
Longing for the past leaves us drowning-
in an everlasting universe of memory
Commemorating the occurrences of this crucial world,
leaving us,
drowning in the spiritual void of our own mentality
As we are hit with waves of sadness,
we are drowned in the waters of grief
Only to be conveyed on to the shores of happiness-
by the waves of relief
