You are the start of a path

looking forward to something

that will never come.

You are a piece of gold

shimmering in the dark

like a wish that never

came true.

You are a piece of string

dancing around in the

moonlight like a ballerina.

You are a rubber rubbing

out the wrong.

You are a vulture screaming

for food like a baby.

You are a turtle crying

out for help as people

destroy the ocean.
