The Art Corner |
“Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in their having it! The more helpless they are, the more instructive are the examples they furnish us; and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age.” — Paul Klee |

The Waves Crash
Sleeping in the sand, Dreaming in the wind Listening to the land Life has left its brand
The waves are crashing Sleeping on silk Lying here thinking In the world I’m sinking
Late on this night The moon is shining bright It's such a beautiful sight It’s this world’s natural light
Now sitting here watching the waves Look up at the stars This moment it saves Me from the days.
— written by a Devereux student |
