Wanderings by Sophie Matthews (children's ebooks online .TXT) 📕

The sky is grey…
It’s peaceful.
Rain drops fall…
Little needles on the skin.
The huge trees dance in the wind.
Their leaves play a restless melody.
Tic toc, tic toc…
An old man’s cane on the rocks.
Rumbling ants take over.

The tears of heaven reach the earth
But…
Their song is silent now.
The footsteps of the numbers
Steal away its meaning.
The choirs touch the strings
Again and again…
But the power fades away…
No one stops to hear it:
A forgotten chant…
Why can’t they see its beauty?!
Why have they lost its meaning?!
A voice coming through the ages.
Still singing for the ones that hear,
For the ones that have not forsaken…
The beauty of the tears of heaven.

They say the blackboard is already written.
That all we can do is follow the lines.
But I refuse to believe so,
I want to show them
I can do it.
The chalk is so easy to erase
I want to shout that my destiny
Is a blank sheet
That no one will tell me what to do
I will not be a puppet on strings
I’ll walk my own path
Whether it’s full with thorns or roses
It will be my road
Tell me I am a leaf in the wind
And I’ll tell you
That leaves reach the sky.
That leaves travel the wind.
Destiny is not carved in stone.
And even if it were,
I’d find a way to break it
To turn it in strands of sand,
My future will be carved in stone
By my word, by my will, by my soul,
And nothing more…

You watch me.
You light my way.
You shine in the night sky.
Why is your light so cold my beautiful lady?
I feel you so close to me.
When you watch over me
I feel safe as if your silver wings shroud me from the eyes of evil.
And I can feel peace
The clear and calm, you charm me
You guard me without asking for nothing in return.

But you are still sad.
What have you lost?
What makes your heart tear?
I wish I knew.
Would that help?
Could I help?
I wish I could reach you.
Could I wipe your tears away?

I slowly fall asleep.
Your spell charms my eyelids.
I slowly drift in dreamless sleep
Cause the silver moon is guarding me.

A smile.
It’s all you need to give me
And you’ll have the key to my heart.
An honest smiling face
That will charm easier than a thousand crafted words.
Give me your smile and I’ll give you mine.
Than we’ll be two children smiling to the sun.
He’ll be jealous.
Our skins he’ll try to burn and our smiles to rip.
Your body he may touch but never your smile.
Stay with me.
Look at me.
Smile with me.
I’ll keep you smiling
And you’ll help me smile.

Let’s stay together and the scorching eye will lose.
Let’s make new friends.
Let’s share a smile to more people.
Let’s give them the cure of fear.
Let’s take away the power of the evil star.
Let’s all hold hands and smile.
We’ll all be kings and queens
And the light of suns will pale and kneel to ours.
All we need to start is your smile.
