To the little rays

Coming through the clouds

Bright shining through

Broken through

To the little rays

Rays of sunlight

Breaking through

To

I reach out grabbing at them

Bright and shining on the rain

How

How

Do I long

I reach out

I just need to grab one

Can I grab one

To the little rays

So bright

So

Bright

Once I thought

Reflecting off the droplets of water

From the days rain

Once I thought

Th...

Lines harsh and dark

Leaving to real

Moving about

What is this

I move

My hands tight on the brush

Gripping

Tight tighter

Hold on hold on

Blood running down

Snap

Snap

Snap

And the brush breaks

And right on time

The blast of the alarm

Goes off

Up right

And I stare

My hands covered in bandages

Bandages from the day before

Running cold

What else was I to do

Even as I throw the covers off

Droppin...

The ritual was over. Kyler was starting to stir as the mage stepped back setting down his staff. The mage smiled as Kyler slowly got up. The young warrior moaned as her head rolled to the side as she slowly opened her eyes. The mage said, “Welcome back, Kyler.”

“What happened?”

“You died.”

She blinked a few times but didn’t try to move as her head spun. “I died.”

“Yes, my lady. You died. We brough...

Light and dark

All of which covered

Yet the world was only

That of gray

I did not see

I could not see

All that had fallen

My heart shattered

Strong not I

Long past was that

Where was once softness

Now all had turned to stone...

I stopped and stared at him. The man in the car shot me a charming smile as he gave me a slow blink. I glanced around. He was the only car on the road and I was the only person. I knew I should run. Every fiber in my being told me I needed to run instead I said, “No thank you.”

He smiled again, “Are you sure? It is pretty chilly out here.”

I pressed my lips together, “No thank you, again. I am jus...

I stared at my reflection in the mirror. Everyone had said that they didn’t remember. No one did. No one remembered me. Still, I turned from the mirror and turned to my family. They stared at me. They didn’t believe me. My father sighed as he said, “I am sorry, ma’am.”

“But father.”

I reached out to him but he backed away. The look on his face tore through me. It hurt. My heart hurt. I pressed my ...

The crooked tree of my dreams is real. Yet no one believes me. Every night I wake there. I can’t seem to get away from.

Tonight I lie in my bed my partner watching me to make sure I stay put. I fall sleep into a dark slumber and all is peaceful

Yet when I awake next I am by the crooked tree my partner is no where in sight. “Why shall I wake by the crooked tree?”

I ponder over and over.

Thus I be...

Boom boom boom

Fire up high

Climbing the walls

Raining down

Against one another

Side to side

Once upon a time

But now

Opposite we stand

Boom boom boom

Once together

Now separate

On the path we walked

And with a choice at hand

Fire raining down

Boom boom boom

We face off

Once together

Now only in fire

And thundering sound

Do we stand...

Down the line we go

A path unknown

Where do we go

Over and under

Up up up

In a way

We shall not know

Everything

In the way we go

Up we have to do

Fighting all the lows

Fighting destruction

Fighting the destroyed

If we can’t go

Then we just don’t make it...

From the flow of life

Up high

Down low

Does it flow

All around us

In the air

And in the water

We can’t get away from it.

Here it is

The world, life

And so much more

How wondrous it is...
