I Sense You Melody Avakian, AZCOM 2020 The sun rises, I think of you. I think about what you would do If you saw it rise, too. I walk on the grass, I look up at you. I look up because it’s true That you used to walk on the grass, too. The trees dance, I remember you. I remember how so few Could dance like you, too. When birds sing, I hear you. I hear the voice with which I grew And want to sing with it, too. The sky, it cries, I talk to you. I talk of the fear I wish to subdue Sometimes I cry with the sky, too. ▼ My Backyard Hannah Mitchell, AZCOM 2020 Prusik Peak, Leavenworth, WA Water hits my skin, I feel you. I feel a touch that I once knew Oh, how you loved the water, too! The clouds, they clear, I see you. I see your face within my view Beneath the clouds, can you see me, too? Flowers bloom, I smell you. I smell a scent I never outgrew You were lovely like the flowers, too. The sun sets, I think of you. I think about what you would do, If you saw it set, too. 14 THRIVE 2018
