The Border Gaurdian• Show poetry

I am
A falling bit of Sunshine

  Swallowed by the Earth

Returned to the Surface

  Left to shine

Darkly in the daylight

  Broadcast to the Atmosphere

Meant to be More than I ever aspired to

  The Smiling While Bit of Storm Cloud -

The one who wrote four worlds.

 

 

 

(In other words, I'm just weird)
