Spectrum Skies


Spectrum Skies

 

From violet to indigo, green to yellow, orange to red

My opinions they flow like a little brave fellow

, and reflection it goes Its the hashtag of my life

Looking back in the mirror to see the very reflection that declares my present and my future life

My image am I proud of it

Not quite, but Im working on it

As God knows he's working on me 

I know that one day I will be what he has called me to be

From the bottom of the hill to the top I flow 

My determination is like a spectrum and it goes

By spectrum I mean that everything that I see and say changes because I refuse to stay stagnant

One color, its not my friend, it may be what the world declares I am

But what the world doesn't know is that I stand as a soldier who will fight to the end

The love that I feel is not from this world but from my father above who will never forget

Forget me, forsake me, he said in his word that he wouldn't

And no he hasn't….The peace that I feel its like a spectrum because there are different phases

The closer I get to Him the more peace I experience…

My life is a spectrum sky because through my Lord I stand and I rise

Jzov Stith Gambles

I am currently a high school senior at Inderkum High School. My passions are creative writing, public speaking, community service, and government. I aspire to inspire others through my personal, academic, and educational achievements. I yearn to become an English professor or a Senator; funny enough, my favorite courses are Government and English. English, to me, is not only a means of expression, but a channel of discovery, connection, and growth; studying English literature, and writing and rhetorical techniques all lead to studying culture, history, time, and eventually all components of life. This leads to why I appreciate government- I enjoy learning about the components of government, the affect of policies, and how all these components and their functions are related. Writing-poetry, short stories, songs, novels-, and speaking are means of expression and discovery of myself.
