My Dreams

    My Dreams
    They seem to phase me
    Classify me
    Recognize me
    Undermine me
    They can be me
    Or they can ruin me
   
    I dream each night
    I dream of fights    I dream of Knights
    I dream even of my fear of Heights
    But every day I know that I will Dream

    Its different every time
    There’s life in them and there’s fun in them
    I can be me in my dreams
    I can be unique and original
    Their sometimes scary
    Their sometimes funny
    But all I know is that My Dreams
    Are one and only  By Zeidy

       The boy wondered why the Captain came to the ocean. “Well boy, I've always had a passion for the ocean; all of the bright colors of the great coral and all of the life that no one has ever seen before and yet it’s like the whole world above us but hidden under a dark blanket of thick, heavy salt water,” said the Captain. I’ve never thought of the ocean like that, I have only thought of it as a big black pit with dangerous and creeping crawlers, ready to attack at any moment, like a rattlesnake ready to jump at its prey explained the boy.  The captain chuckled calmly and took it more as a joke than a serious statement. Oh no boy, in fact that is the complete opposite.  Cabin boy had a puzzled look on his face, he has never ever seen anything under the ocean and he never understood the beauty of the ocean just yet.

The old submarine started to descend to the bottom of the ocean as the cabin boy looked out the window to see the amazing ocean life that lay just under the surface of the crystal blue water. By Alex S.

The World

                               I see the plains, long lasting, never ending continuous.

I see the ocean, a deep blue, peaceful, and full of life

I see the sky, light blue, with splotches of white, quiet, calm.

The mountains, as high as they are, are never too high.

They are as high as the sky, and no taller.

I see the ground, so green, so refreshing, cold, and short.

I see the islands, covered in smooth sand, coconut trees, grass and domed volcanoes.

I see the sun every day and the moon every night.

I see people, walking, talking, laughing.

I see kids playing, and sharing.

I see families reunite, hugging and kissing.

I see dogs meeting cats, and flees meeting spiders.

I see love all around, no violence, no danger, no hatred.

I see war at end, and in the future,

I see enemies become allies.

I see hatred turn into love and violence to handshaking.

I see anger turn into happiness.

I see the eternal friendships.

Love was, is, and will always be there.

I see the world as beauty.

A place of love.

A world of no hate, only love.

I see the world as acceptance, no one is left out.

I see the world with satisfaction.

I see people living by the laws.

I see the world with eternal goodness.

No one else may see the world like this, but this is how my eyes see it.

I know for fact that I see the world, as home. By Kyle

Ocean - a reflection inspired by the Google Logo, Jules Verne

Down, deeper than ever. Above me, I look, seeing nothing but the dimness from the sun. I stay there feeling nothing but coldness and my own heartbeat. It feels as though I’m motionless, unable to have contact with the world and life as I know it. I stand there, anticipating something to happen. As though something might ruin the peace, like everything else in my life. Waiting for the thing that is perfect to me to either leave or hurt me as if I had hurt it, but at last I realize that the ocean isn’t a beast or monster but something that will heal instead of hurt. That may be the stillness of my body and and the frigidness of the water will help me to be at peace with myself because, at last, I have nothing to worry about. I close my eyes and breath, knowing that my breath will last longer than a lifetime, longer than time itself. By Ashley 
 

What I See

       It's interesting, what I see. Its almost a mystery. My eyes are clear like glass giving me the sight like no other. I see that under the heavenly Earth, there is a new one. It’s different and exciting, with creatures that have not been discovered and the movement of water creates a bond between man and sea. It’s just like the world above, there’s plants and animals, land and vegetation, life unknown. But for man to understand what is under, is not through scientific reasoning, not through mathematics, not even through logic. Man must expand their imagination to see what is true, not what is figured or proven. The sea is so big it will take more lifetimes than you can count to see every part but every part doesn’t have to be seen in order to make new discoveries. One small section by itself is full of excitement and joy that creates new discoveries and memories for you. What is already discovered and seen by man may not be seen by you. What you see and interpret is different than what others see and interpret. Its interesting that what I think is amazing or funny may not be to others. To go under water into the depths of the dark cold water into the vast unknown creates the thrill of observing; it’s not so important to discover a new marine/ aquatic animal or plant. What I see is as clear as crystal but may not be to you but just being under water, in the ocean is just an example of saying just a few words; what you see, forests, species of animals, valleys , and mountains, was created by God. When I said “But for man to understand what is under, is not through scientific reasoning, not through mathematics, not even through logic,” and “Man must expand their imagination to see what is true, not what is figured or proven,” I mean that all the science and math can be simplified into saying “God made the world, and everything in it.  By Kyle

The Devil's Beast - Part 1 - Creative Writing

Introduction 

    Hi. My name is Mike Kinler. I was a survivor of a war that happened in 2065. It wasn’t a war with other humans like World War 2; no, it was a war with a Beast. Critics said it was not from this world. But others who broke into some hidden government files from the FDA said the beast was made by some scientist who created it. The beast was created in the northern part of Virginia. Unfortunately, I was in that area at that time. By the time I heard about the beast was in my area. It was already too late.

   My wife and I were just going to go visit her sister’s place when all the sudden our front tire of the car blew off. Immediately, my wife told me to go check on the tires. I pulled my car over and I got out of my car and when I got out I looked around me because it was pitch black outside. I asked my wife to hand me a flashlight from the compartment. She quickly handed it to me. Then she asked me, “Honey are you ok?”  Of course I said yes even though she knew I was lying. After I said that I quickly turned over towards my car and the popped tire. I stared at my tire real hard with my flashlight on it. It took me about five minutes to realize...

     "My tires where slashed!" I said with  unspeakable horror. Then my wife spoke. "See if there is anything else than that. That would have caused this. Because there is no way that could happen."Then I spoke in reply to her comment."There are marks on the tire, that look like a lion cut it."I looked back at her and she looked back at me with a terrified face. For a brief minute I thought about what I said and I knew she became scared. Then I said to her in a nice way."It must be some glass or something on the road."She looked at me with a little less fear in her eyes."  by Stefan

A Tribute to Jules Verne - inspiration from the Google logo

As we immersed the ship into the sea, and succumb to its calling, we see the true majesty of nature beneath the waves. All nature’s loyal subjects were present, with fish of every color and sheen, and great beasts and monsters could all be seen. Beside us there were extravagant palaces and archways that were all colors and hews of which the subjects traversed daily. It was all completely tranquil with beauty unprecedented. No one above the waves could imagine the beauty and freedom that resides under the sea. All things that resided here was beyond understanding and above logic and reason, and was pure and glorious. No man ruled the wonders beneath the waves. by: Nathan
