Nighttime Lights
By Oren Milgrom-Dorfman age 11
I go outside, to watch
I look through a window, to see
City lights,
Windows glowing like squares of sun
Lampposts shining like starry skies
I go outside, to watch
I look through a window, to see
Sunset lights,
Red car lights flowing like rivers
Clouds turned pink like cotton candy
I go outside, to watch
I look through a window, to see
Star lights,
Constellations scattered like drops of milk
Planets small as seeds
Then I go inside, to watch
I turn away from a window, to see
Heart lights,
Love as bright as countless suns
Joy like all the stars in the sky

Surrounded
By Oren Milgrom-Dorfman age 11
I am surrounded
It’s a fact, it is true
I am surrounded
It’s good and it’s bad, it has many hues
I am surrounded by people who want to check in
See how I’m doing, see if I’ve had a win
I am surrounded by people that say
I will try to help you in every way
Being surrounded is good, that is true
But as I have said, it has many hues
I am surrounded anytime, anywhere
I can’t escape, can’t get fresh air
I am surrounded, it feels suffocating
I need to escape, need to keep moving
Being surrounded can be bad, that is true
But I must remember that it has many hues
I am surrounded by people who love me
I am surrounded by people who care
I am surrounded by people that help me
In any way and anywhere
Being surrounded is good, bad and true
And what’s also true is that it has many hues
So being surrounded is both good and bad
It’s loving, it’s suffocating, it’s people holding your hand
Being surrounded is bad and it’s good
It’s helping, it’s holding, it’s I wish that I could
I am surrounded
It’s a fact, it is true
I am surrounded
It’s good and it’s bad, it has many hues
