I truly believe that even a small action can make a big difference, and I'm very honored to be a part of this project to take an action. I have been writing for 7 years and hope you will enjoy reading my poems.

 

 

A Paper Crane

A paper crane:
delicate and dignified.
Please let my spirit dwell in you
as I make you from a piece of paper,
placing a wish from my heart in each folding.

A paper crane:
fragile yet strong.
Go fly against the wind
and with your purity take poison away.
Fly over the sea of blood
and with your grace calm the wave and bring us peace.
