Cobwebs and Light by Serena Axel (i am malala young readers edition txt) 📕

My heart leaps; you have changed my life,
just as you have transformed this night to day.
I am electric!


My Star
I walk down the path and look to the sky.
There you are, my silent star,
but vibrant and shimmering.

The clouds snow white,
and shapes to challenge my imagination
drift across you and try to hide
your beauty and luminance.

The wind comes out and whispers in a warm tone
for the clouds to flee.
Leaving you to guide me safely home to you.


Our Hideaway

This is our secret place
hidden away with giant ferns
constructing a long green fence.

Looking beyond are wild flowers
carpeting the ground.
Here the sky breaks open.


Butterflies descend like a kaleidoscope.
Slowly I lower myself down
to the flat rock
where we always sit next to the stream.
I abandon my shoes and dip my feet
into the cool waters of
the stream rushing by.
My toes are being tickled
by momentary fingers,and this
causes me to jump in a rollicking way.

I kick and I splash.
Droplets of water fill the air
like a gentle cooling rain.

I spy a large turtle
still wearing water
as he ascends the edge of the
stream.

Here I am alone.
You are away, and now settled
I impatiently open your letter.
Perusing words of your feelings,
they are transparent to my soul.

They speak to me of what is to come...
when you return.
