The rain is falling
It is pitter – pattering
A frog croaks nearby
One day
My best friend’s mom took me to Macy’s
And bought me a top with a necklace
I took care of it so
And then it was gone
So beautiful & fragile
It broke my heart to see it go
Why is it the ones we feel we will disappoint the most
Are our closet and most caring friends
Our hearts are broken to tell the truth
Just like the broken necklace
The wind in the trees
It frightens me
The swishing
The swaying
“The tree is about to fall”
Is what my mind is telling me
I run for cover
Through the soaking rain
I sneak a peek behind me
There
A face in the tree
It is laughing at me
I run back home
Next day I look out my window
There
The face
Looking ever so lonely
I laugh at the face
Never so scared of the wind in the trees
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
(inspiration from Spirit Animal book series)
The bunny popped up from the burrow
So cute, timid and small
It’s sister came next
Little braver than the first
Their mother pushed them on
The little bunny trailing behind, scared
It jumped at the sound of the falling leaf
And ran at his sister yipping with humor
But then his sharp eyes spotted a stripe
His sister was heading right to it
The tiger jumped out of the bushes
Its claws extended toward his sister
He jumped right toward her
Bumping her out of the way
Then ducking out of the tigers reach
But he turned around
Saw Mom in reach of the tiger’s claws
So he ran to her bumping them both far away
The tiger fell in a thorn bush and died
And the little bunny was never scared again
But he was still cautious
The colors of the rainbow
So radiant and fine
They shine like the sun
With the moon’s crystal glaze
As they ride across the sky in gold rides
Just before they touch the ground
They rear up very quickly
Leaving behind a pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow
