Poems by Jade Kimberley du Preez

Frozen eyes

I wake up every morning

Only to see

Deep, icy blue eyes

Staring straight at me

Cold and unforgiving ice

Grows without life

And reaches into my soul

Seeing the deepest corners inside of me

In these frozen eyes,

There are endless frozen lakes

And peaks of snow

Only the brave can withstand climbing

But every here and there,

 A patch of hope appears

A patch of bright green

Filled with tall green, trees

That brings hope of life and growth

My mother calls in the distance

And I turn away from the mirror

Bringing Hope

The endless abyss stretches far

It is pitch black

With only a few stars visible

Lonely, and sad

But the twilight breaks

At the corners of the world

As a bright light begins to rise

Bringing hope to those in need

As the light rises,

The monsters of the night

Run and hide

Disappearing one by one

The world starts to light up

First changing from purple to red

And then, to a light, sky blue

The sun rises

Bringing hope
