Analysis of Treasures



Reflections and images atop of the lake;
Memories inside,a treasured keepsake.
The smell of August breath or December storms;
Existence of life in all shapes and forms.
Choices to disagree or to believe;
Unlimited goals in which to achieve.
Bloomed mornings wake,candle lit skies fall;
Unbreathable air like the bounce of a ball.
Friction in between,which creates fire;
Access to anything we require or desire.
Assortment of color throughout the day;
Enhancing our vision an adept way.
The prolonged growth of a single seed;
Ability to write and therefore read.
Helium, as it introduces flight;
Earths' rotation,which provides day and night
The elderly man whom speaks of the wise;
Or waves of a hand that signal goodbye.
Incredible oceans surround you,explore;
The decision is yours retrieve or ignore.
