The Genie

Ah it's you who hath set me free
Such divinity in your mortality
I thank you much, but owe you one

You seem to be broken, tattered, alone
Maybe ask for a brand new start
One where all people have a heart

But choose your words wisely as I do
For you see, I only speak truth
It's my treat, so heed my warning
But be haste, for time is turning

Time to decide, you've had your chance
For this is the last wish I will grant
You will go and be on your way
I will be free, finally have my way

I'm no genie, I'm just my own
But I can try to help you along
I can be there for you all the way
All you do is stop and say
The one word left on my mind
The word that leaves the others behind

Stay.

On The Moon

As I lie on the vast field of grass. I felt for the sun until it last. I stretched my arm and open my hand. Tried to reach the stars with fingers fanned. They seem to be out of reach.

Pebble

My garden is quite plain. Boring you see. But something spectacular. Lays under the jade tree. A glistening stone. Perfect in every way. So I go under the tree. To look at it everyday.

In a fancy Paris restaurant, there is a magical wish-granting mirror. But it only grants wishes if you tell the truth -- if you lie, you disappear.

Stars Give Friends

When I was your age, I had a dream. I met a man, His clothes the color of cream. He taught me how to make a small paper star, So he gave me a jar, and ran to the stars.

Nope! Aside from this, it's been English classes and one script for a short film for a photography/videography course.

And no past writers in my family as far as I know. I love music and I play a lot, so maybe that has some influence! Thank you though. You're very kind. @jrhuff5
