On a chill December morning
The snow started to fall
It was as if the heavens were crying
With tears of happiness
At what a beautiful landscape
The land would look like once it snowed
It would look like the green had changed to white
It would be so pretty
The heavens would color themselves with it
It was
SNOWING!!!!!!
I was running home on a chill winter morning
When the first snow was falling
I stopped at the crossing to catch my breath
Then I saw the lone flower
It was sitting there all bright and beautiful
With frost creeping up its stem
I picked it up with my gloved hand
Took it home, put in a vase
Set it on the table and laid back
Watched it
All was silent
No words needed to be spoken
All was said by the flower’s nodding head
I saw the hurt player
With his broken arm in a cast
I couldn’t watch him play
Using and falling on his arm
I wondered why he chose to play
When he was clearly hurt
I think he’s too brave for his own good
Thinking he can do anything
And fight through the pain
He surely wears a brave face
On the inside, I bet, he’s writhing in pain
The thing I’m trying to say is,
No matter the embarrassment,
If something hurts, just take a timeout
There was nothing but the sea, sun & sky
For the first part of Erdas’s life
Then, came a shining sapling
With silver bark & golden leaves
Her branches touched the heavens
Her roots touched the fiery core
As they breathed life into the world
They created the Great Beasts, and all of us
The Evertree, the source of all bonds
Everything thrived under her rule
Til she became old and started withering
The Great Beasts, except for the Four Fallen
Sacrificed themselves for Erdas
They killed the Evertree
So the world could begin anew
