‘Neither will win’, the audience says
Now that the contest starts
For black men move without their heads
And white without their hearts.
‘And if one shall advance’, they said,
‘So much as one short pace,
His fellowmen shall shun him then
A traitor to the race’.
‘You wooden men give up the game,
For what are all these squares
But black and white and black again,
The pattern of your cares?’.
The chessmen quickened into life,
For love has conquered pride,
Those that were angry face to face
Are quiet side by side.
I hid in a box
Locked myself tightly within in
I provided no view
But only the darkness inside it
I lived in the dark, I struggled to see
I looked for myself, I couldn’t find me
And then as I gave up
To surrender and die
I felt a strange object
A smooth, solid gold
I pondered, and wondered
What is this to me?
There is a purpose
I know this to be
My dreams came alive
In the blackness of night
Coldness of air have no reason
To fright
I knew right away
I knew what this was
I had found it
My treasure
I had finally found me
I had found what I needed
I found my own key
My first photo taken with my new Sony a6000, hopefully I can learn some photography!
Night doesn’t last forever
And with the breaking of each dawn
We are promised strength for the day
Everlasting mercy
And the brightest
Of sunlight
I have officially submitted my first design portfolio! And here’s the first page after the cover! Sadly, I never did a proper review so discovered two typos, but as my daughter remarked, we all make mistakes!
Yes or No to be used? (Obviously I will use the licensed version, this was my practice round, I made it!). Pass or Fail? Hot? Or Not?
My new favorite!
