Olivia Seale Poem
As it enraptures me
Suddenly there is a light,
Something ahead,
I run faster,
Faster, faster, faster!
Finally I reach the light
Only to discover
That I have landed in a dark cathedral
Filled with the faint light of candles
Why am I here?
I spin around, around, around
Looking for a hint of recognition,
Only to find ghostlike faces,
Wrapped up in hoods the color of night,
Watching me with a wary eye
There! There, I see,
I understand it now,
She lies there in the coffin,
Pale and stiff,
Cold, devoid of her beauty
My heart screams,
My soul cries for mercy,
My mouth is frozen,
Unable to utter any sound
I turn again,
Running, running, running
Out of this place,
And into the undefined beyond
I pause momentarily,
See churning water beneath me,
I hear my heart beat,
Ready to burst out of my body
I am ready now,
Ready to escape,
I take the plunge,
Falling, falling, falling
My eyes flutter open,
A look of fear on my face,
Until I realize
That was just a nightmare.

Olivia Seale Poem
The world turns,
Changing every second,
With every whisper of the wind
Every movement of the sea,
Every song of the birds,
All the earth is in motion
Look at your surroundings
And see the change incarnate
Watch as spring first begins –
The flowers in their bloom
The trees all green and glorious
The sky a crystal clear,
All the world seems light and weightless
We see nature and smile at its beauty
Watch as spring bursts into summer –
The sun shining brighter,
The air feeling warmer,
The heat healing the earth,
All the world is free and cheerful
We feel fresh, vivacious and content
Watch as summer rolls into autumn –
The leaves turning all shades of orange
Nature taking on a deeper hue,
The cool starting to finally sink in,
All the world begins, school, work, and play
We adjust to a new routine
Watch as autumn fades into winter –
The air getting crisper,
The days becoming shorter,
Glittering snow falling softly to the earth,
All the world is comfortable and cozy
We settle down to warm by the fire
Look at your surroundings,
And see the change incarnate
With every breath you take,
Watch the world turn.

Olivia Seale Poem
The wooden park bench
Was their favorite place
The trees and the grass
Ceaseless beauty and grace
The wooden park bench
Brought them smiles and warmth
The glistening sun
And the puffy white clouds
The wooden park bench
Showed them each other
Her pretty sun dress
His handsome white shirt
The wooden park bench
Brightened their days
His charming stories
Her gushing laughter
The wooden park bench
Lifted their spirits
Floating in the sky
Holding on to each other
The wooden park bench
Was their every desire
Their arms intertwined
Their lips locked forever.
