Poem by Year 8 Student
Born to the sun, born to the sand,
I hear the call and walk the land.
A light appears, I turn to see,
You greet me so happily.
We build bridges, find friends so
bold,
And cross this desert's last
threshold.
Sliding fast, exchanging smiles,
We descend a shimmering road of
trials.
Once safe at home, now strife with
fear,
We're lost among those keen to leer.
Atonement comes from the chaos,
Temptations clear, we learn our
cause.
The crossing comes, reclamation
awaits,
To fulfill out passion, our righteous
fates.
But soon the light begins to fade.
Once warm and bright, now cold and
weighed.
At our nadir, we press on to see
The reward of this long, hard
Journey.
Throughout us grows this numbing
cold,
Till we watch the other lose their
hold.
After all we've done, after all we've
seen,
Why end it now? This accursed
dream...
...But wait! What's this, a field of
white?
We're glowing in a golden light!
Fly high my friend, fly fast and
bright.
I'll see you there, my shining light.
We did it! We're here, we've finally
won!
Our final chapter has begun...
You see we'll walk until this path is
done,
In wind and sand and setting sun.
This poem explores an adventurer
trying to climb a mountain to see the shining light. It was then adapted into a
PlayStation video game that was critically acclaimed since it had told a story
without facial expressions, dialogue and even body language.
In my poem, I tried to deliver the
sense of resilience, overcoming obstacles and a great experience.
