“Circles of Emotion” – Tiba Bakuri ’23

Serenity, whispering in the night
The brilliant light gleaming across the sky
Gently awaiting the time to ignite
An upper being, standing by as she dies.

High above the sky, soaring with the sun
Rising like the dawn, a life emerges
Moving like the young winds, begging to run
Beneath the heat, a new being surges.

An explosion of sound, scaring away
Misery as the bliss overcomes
What once was fear, keeping the thoughts at bay
Shining with joy, but turning over the drums.

As the sunset appears, she lies awake
Pondering life, thinking of mistakes.
