in PH 2020 (School Poets) Poets of Gems Modern Academy

A Touch Of Harmony

My head is spinning

My lungs are burning

Our world is drowning

Our time is ticking

Possessions are prized

As a yardstick of success

Adulating those with plenty

Berating those with less

Perhaps this is a folly

What sets us apart

Is not what we own

But we give to those

Who look different

Who eat different

Who dress different

Who think different

Just a touch of harmony

A river through my skin

I feel it like the swelling sea

Cascading down from my soul

A thrusting waterfall

My spirit drinks it in

It breaks the brittle cynic wall

It surges to console

It lets the battered soul rejoice

Like stars in the sky.
