Our lives are a bit more fragile, then we like to believe

Each day we are alive, we may face yet another trial

But, on the day of reckoning, perhaps, we can perceive

That our presence on this Earth, has been worthwhile

Tallulah had a mind of her own
Never let anyone inside to see
Seems her head was in the clouds
She was peculiar, as one could be

Hands to ears, so she didn’t hear
All the snickering, as she went by
Silently, she was quite panicky
Though, she didn’t know why

People found her so different
She was sure she was like the rest
Maybe it’s how she wore her hair
Maybe it’s the way she dressed

Nevertheless, she promised herself
To never speak, she wouldn’t dare
The town folk continued to berate
Poor thing, was treated so unfair

Til one day Tallulah had decided
It was time to stand up for what’s right
She stood in the middle of the mall
Making sure she was in everyone’s sight

Shouting at the top of her lungs
Announcing for all who could hear
“If I am peculiar, then so are you!
Just go home and look in a mirror!”

Though snowfall is surely part of winter’s frosty cold

It still brings with it a certain magic, we cannot quell

The iridescence of the light, is truly a sight to behold

When the sun reflects, creating a prismatic carousel

The mighty raptor

His feathers, riding the wind

Screams, just look at me

He forged a life, made of promises unkept
Each time, the mortal’s chain grew stronger
Unaware, in his future, he would be inept
As every day, the silver links, grew longer

Passing the time, he sought out his own
Thought they’d understand him the best
Not one would listen, his voice, a drone
They’d all come to despise and detest

Sinking away, to his cold, lonely house
Even the fire could not warm him tonight
He knew it didn’t matter, were he to grouse
He had saddled himself, with this plight

Soon he was called to the afterlife, where
He was fitted, with his now complete chain
Each link, a reminder of how he didn’t care
Every movement, of the weight, was his pain
