Poems That Came From a Beanstalk

Somewhere in There

But something 

Happened 

The other day

You started

Speaking of

Small things

They were 

Beautiful, you see

And simple

You told me

Of your 

Plants

You don't 

Think much

Of them

But

By God

You have them

You have

The spark 

Of curiosity 

I ran outside 

To find

A cat

I found 

A rainbow 

Instead

You were

Home alone

At night

You said that

You heard

The fireworks

So you ran 

Outside

Like I did

To see them

You searched

Because of the spark

It made 

My heart sing

When you said so

You say you

Look for

Metal

In your yard

When you're 

Bored

With a metal

Detector

Who does that?

It's simply

Frickin cool

And nerdy

You might not

Understand why

But it sang loud

And then

A miracle

Happened

You spoke of

Fireflies

To me

I caught them

With my

Sister

But you

Caught them 

Alone

Simply 

Because

You wanted to

And once 

You had them

In your jar

You kept them

In your room

Like a child

You said you

Let them free

In the morning

I love those 

Stories

They're real

They mean

So much 

To me

And so

They give me

Hope

That maybe

Just maybe

You do know magic

You do want

To see

To discover

That maybe

You do

Understand

I pray

I beg

That's the case

Because it's 

So important

To live while you're alive

So I am

Staying

Right here

Because 

Somewhere in there

There must be more

I want to 

Ask you to

Keep surprising me

Please 

And 

Thank you
