Ivy Schex Poems

The hills are dark around me
No moon shines its light
A flash of movement to my left
A sound that’s lost to the night
...

A look of sorrow
The feel of shame
The eyes of an innocent
Tell the story of pain
...

The sunlight fills the cloudless sky
Chasing away the cool night
My hands are cupped together
Holding the a tiny ember of light
...

I never knew your face
But I knew your voice
I never knew your name
But I knew my choice
...

Remember that flowers are...
A bit of joy that we can see

They are there for the looking...
...

What do you do when life gets lonely?
Does anyone care that you’re sad
When you’re lonely or hurt
Who do you turn to for comfort?
...

Miles are left behind
The drumming of hooves
Can be heard across the plains
The wind whips through
...

They say that the west is untamed
Maybe it’s true as they say
But where they may think there is no life
There will always be one thing for sure
...

Where the sky meets the land
Where the prairie grass grows
The home of the wild mustang
Is never far from those
...
