Like a little child at play,
with a barefoot style
In the rain.
Although the names may change
its the cries that don't lie.
You should notice me.
So should I.

I'll keep the lights on, for a while.
To keep at bay with hope
what defiles.
Cause in the distance, creatures howl and sigh
and I know why.
Because they notice me.
So should I.

Like a little child, they say,
envisioning the world,
not the grave.
They know the pain's the same
In the minds that don't lie.
They're always noticing.
So should I.

very creative, i like the way you crafted your words.
Thank you very much

I'm sorry it's not a more interesting comment for you. I never really know how to respond to poetry in a helpful fashion. other than to simply say I enjoyed this.
thats all right. I often find myself leaving the same comment when I think it's beautiful, and I love knowing that someone feels that way about my work, so your comment was awesome :)
