LOGINLandscape 2
The sky roiled like the sea
Clouds the colors of cotton candy Flashes of pink- white light Flickered in and out of view
The setting sun, stained the sky
A deep orange to rival the blues and pinks
The rocks jutted up into the rain
The waves clamored to consume it The cliffs absorbed the orange of the sky And reflected saturated versions The grass growing around the sand was A deep forest green mixed with emerald
The sand was moist and pale in the fading light
The sea reflected the light above it Transitioning from pink to blue and back
It played patty cake with the shore
As both were excited about the incoming storm

The fog weaved through the trees And around her entire body Before making its way to the clouds
The trees sprouted close like they
All whispered secrets when the wind blew They grew thin and in clusters Small foliage could be seen
In the spaces the trees hadn’t yet grown
A stream meandered through the trees Down a path it had forged for itself Its kindness softened and smoothed All the rocks living in its depths And its ripples sang out a sweet lullaby For all of the animals listening

You wanted to permanently carve your existence into meI’ll tell you now your permanence is temporaryYou’ll stay with me through January maybe FebruarySeasons change so do time and placeAnd it seems I’ve forgotten your faceYou thought I’d hold you high in a glass caseBut from the very beginningYour existence for me held no meaningAnd me? I’m still teamingWith the independence to rule a nationAnd you’re just a figment of my imaginationNot any kind of limitationBecause I’m a person of my own creationI am permanently meAnd in my life you are temporaryAs such you can’t scare meI’m my own guardian fairyAnd you’re forever temporary &n

(Inherited Identity)What It’s Like to Be an involuntary mother(for those of you that aren’t)She was a sister second-A mother and protector firstShe didn't do it by choice-Though some would say she did.For her there wasn't a choice-Her sister needed someoneShe just stepped up to the task.Feeding her, changing diapers.She did all the things a mother would.She didn't hate it even if it wasn't a choice-She felt the love a mother would.She did all the things a mother could-Giving her sister motherly love like she knew she should Raising a child from anothers womb.Only four years older-She didn't try to be bolderThan she already had been.Combing hair, getting dressed-She did these things for herself less and less.She wasn't the first one on her mind-She didn't let herself be one of a kind.She bec
NadyaThe light of the stars shines in her eyes Certain we can't count the nights she's cried Still every morning she gets up and smilesIf freckles be the kiss of angelsThen she carries more love than fairAround her a rosey smell floats on the airShe runs her fingers through her dark brown hair Eyes like the drops of dew seen on a petal of a blue poppyA mind stronger than the trials she undergoes A voice that beautifly ebbs and flowsA kindness in her heart like no one knowsMorganneAn energy like no otherBubbly beyond compareShe brings you up with just a smile I swearHer hair waves to the rhythmShe must be feeling as she laughs Even still she may have a heart of glass Eyes like emeralds covered in gold Hiding secrets to be left untoldLike a rose grown unbiddenShe's someone I’d never wish to be rid of
These cliffsCut deep into the earth Like the wrinkles Carved upon my face And as the sun rises I’m remindedof opening my eyesThe grass grows Like prisms of green Covering the ground And the sky Refracts around me Like a million mirrors Filled with sapphiresA breeze blows Moving the clouds And the tree’s leaves Dance in the wind Billowing to the rhythm I feel deep withinThe waves crashed Against the shore As thoughThey had no other way To release their pent up EnergyThe spray Sparkling like diamonds As it hit the airindeed
