Free by Skylar Thalhuber

Like a bird flying high,

or a fish swimming deep,

I am free.

Like a balloon in the air,

or a music box singing it’s song,

I am free.

Stuck in Your Head by Skylar Thalhuber

If something is stuck in your head,
you usually say it out loud several times.
Therefore,
it isn’t really stuck there,
It came out your mouth!

Transformed by Skye Thalhuber

When my pencil hits the paper,
I am transformed.
Transformed into a character that I’m not.
Teleported to a place that I’m not in.
Writing brings me into my dreams,
My nightmares and out of my hard times.
If you put a pencil in my hand I will feel at home.

Snowflakes by Skye Thalhuber

So calmly drifting,

In the air,

One by one,

landing in my hair.

Each one is of it’s own shape,

its own size and pattern,

on their way down,

they twist and they turn.

Just like people,

And animals,

each one is different in their own way,

it is very radical.

If You Weren't You by Skye Thalhuber

What would life be like,
if you weren't you?
Would you live deep under the water,
or would you not be a daughter,
if you weren't you?
Would you be a different creature,
Or have a new feature,
if you weren't you?
Would you live a longer life,
or would you have a different wife,
if you weren’t you?

WITHOUT SIGHT by Skylar Thalhuber

The wind,

the whirling, twirling wind,

feels cool on my face, the whirling, twirling wind.

The birds,

the sweet, tweeting birds,

sound kind, the sweet, tweeting birds.

The trees,

the blooming, rustling trees,

smell calming, the blooming, rustling trees.
