Unnamed poem from English class!

A cold and dry night is just that to some

But, the stars in the cloudless sky create an atmosphere like no other

The moon gives a glow as if its a dim lamp

Only those who walk alone through the empty streets can know the true beauty of my lonesome nights


Layered coats to delay the frigid temperatures

Gloves that never keep you warn

A long road with no true destination

It’s no lie that I’m fearful of the unknown


The hours reaching morning 

The anxiety of a parent’s phone call or text

But the morning light spills over the trees

A sunrise signaling new hopeful days


The frost covered grass to some may look like snow

Doors closing and shoes stomping, kids shouting as the time ticks to seven

A steady retreat, quietly back home

The lights in the house now on as my siblings wake too


A gust of warmth and a simple hello

The smell of coffee dances in the air

Ready for a day full of mello

I fall onto the couch and close my eyes
