Courier Staff Poetry

McCartney Fix

As the years passed by under sheets of white and sunlight skies of yellow, Two friends in the night discussed friendships, partners, and ships of the fellow Knowing there was no definite wrong or right, and that only one thing could provide their heart with slight mellow That just as we have said goodbye to lovers and laughter, I can be assured of sharing but one more hello

The belittling looks when I speak of injustice are what make me reflect on my words. My cheeks grow red with embarrassment, I debate if what I said was proficient. The conclusion remains the same; the guilt of not breaking my silence is worse than rosey cheeks.

Do not be afraid Of what you don’t understand, Do What makes you feel fulfilled Explore the unknown Live your life for you

Find the things that bring you happiness, Live for the moments that leave you speechless Do not let others keep you from taking the risk, Because soon enough, life will have gone by so quick So do not ever live dreamless.

The sun beats on her pale skin, Covered in sunscreen everywhere but her chin; The Dakota of the south, Is beautiful by word of mouth, Gazing over the rolling hills with a grin.

The room that was once bustling with music and energy, Has now faded into a silent serenity, As he allows the calmness of the night to put him to sleep, He allows himself to reminisce about this memory, Which he wishes to keep. Never have I seen such a picturesque sky That makes me reflect and sigh Over the life where I lived and learned While looking at the future I earned Wondering where all the days went But accepting how I decided to spent The years of the good times with some moments of bad But never giving in, always feeling rad Because it's the good moments that always left a smile That has me sitting here for awhile Appreciating the good life has to give Which makes me truly want to live
