A mixtape

Claire Chen ‘23

A mixtape, From Me to You, Of all the little things, That stop me from feeling so blue.

Look up! And feel the sun’s warm welcome, Lay down as the gentle grass pokes your back numb, Take me to where the racing clouds could be from, While nature plays her soft anthem.

Do you hear it? The soft humming of bees in the sky? Although, as a child, they used to make me cry, But now I watch the yellow blurbs peacefully pass by, Oh how I wish they would teach me how to fy.

Smell that in the air? Each breath flled with lavender bloom, The perfect place for an empty afternoon, If only I could be out here longer than the moon, Why does time always have to leave so soon?

See how even a simple leaf can help heal some grief? Might as well enjoy it while we can, Even if nothing ever does go to plan.
