Falling from the sky
Winter flakes create magic
Like no human can

I don’t know how it happened, how they locked me in this cage
They’re outside, chattering, while I’m stuck here, enraged
They’ve a warped sense of humor, I need time to figure this out
Somehow I have to open the door, I can’t just sit here and pout
Don’t worry, I won’t do that, I’m nothing like dogs, no way
I’m superiority at my very best, soon, I’ll make those birds pay
Three against one, a bit unfair, as in this cage, I ponder
All these hours, chatting away, is too much time to squander!
I have to stay alert, and wait, the timing must be right
A distraction would be helpful, I can’t stay in here, all night
Finally! They’ve stopped that noise, are they now asleep?
I’m trying to look around at them, I mustn’t make a peep
Looks like they’re dozing, sounds good, I think I will partake
Curling up in sweet silence…
Their squawking, gave me a headache!

Winged ones take flight, covering the sky
Leaving behind, the homes they have built
No need to feel forlorn, for they will return
Rebuilding their nests, with love, to the hilt!

I’ve traveled here,
to sit, ponder
Basking in the glory
of nature
Feeling the warmth
of the sun
Soaking in the sounds
of water falling
(The rush of silence is awakening)
Freeing me, to find
my inner peace
These things,
I have somehow
Taken for granted,
Thinking they,
would always
be here for me
(Bestowed upon us from Heaven above)
And while the leaves
of the trees, provide
with their shade,
I shall always
turn my face
toward the light
(In thankful prayer for His many blessings)

So many times she would walk by that jar
The one they kept hidden, near the trees
And though they told her never to touch it
She did exactly what wasn’t meant to be
Quickly, gathering the jar, in her hands
She ran off, beyond her home and her kin
Sitting down, for just for a mere moment
Mesmerized by the light, emanating within
Curiosity, got the better of her, poor girl
Needing to know, if the fire would grow
Opening the lid, without warning, it flew
Escaping in the forest, as fast as it could go
A look of surprise came across her face
When she realized what she had done
The light of day, suddenly began to glow
From a jar, in the forest, of the rising sun
January Writing Prompt – She did exactly what she was told never to do – Day 27/31
