Poem: She That Seeks Peace
Guest writer Junior Jaden Jones is a student in Rochelle Garrett’s English class. He often writes fiction and this is his first poem.
As you rest your head to sleep
The rolling of darkness consumes your eyes
With the bright moonshine
Soulas, the Keeper of Dreams, awakes from her slumber
For she sees all that sleep
As the moon was high
And the dark skies fly
Soulas sought out a person that dreamed of peace
She stumbles upon a little boy named Johnny
Who dreamed of famine
Soulas, with disapproval, moves to the next
She then finds a little girl named Mary
Mary did not dream of peace
But of disease
As the sun rises in the cold mountain city of Ardmore
Soulas leaves in hopes of finding peace
She then travels halfway across the world to find a city called Argon
Soulas finds a man named Jack who dreamed of war
She then leaves in hopes to find peace
She then finds a woman named Gracy that dreamed of peace
At last peace or so Gracy thought
Soulas opens her monstrous mouth as she consumes the dream of peace
And turns a dream of peace into a
NIGHTMARE filled with horror and the deceased
As Soulas found that sliver of peace she fell asleep
And awoke as Zathra, she that Consumes Dreams
So don’t dream of peace
For she shall seek thee
