as you lay there on the beach, staring up at the sky. The Sun beating down on you like a chicken in the oven. You begin to rise and notice the blisters and dark redness of your skin. You look around and see no one around, just you, the Sun, the waves, a cool breeze and the glimmering sand.
“Where am I?” You begin to wonder as you search about, searching for some shade to reatreat to. You notice ...
The rain pours down from the heavens,
It is like the sky is crying for the earth down below,
Dry earth needing moisture, the plants withering and drab.
The earthworms now escaping their homes below, the potholes are filled as mini pools for the critters to bath.
But for now the small flying and creeping things hide, as not wanting to be drenched in the pouring rain....
Faintly you hear something that sounds like, “Oh, they will never see it coming!” Coming from the flat above your’s. The voice sounded masculine.
And another voice, “we’ll sneak in through the back and bang! Lights out!” This voice sounded feminine and was followed by a chorus of sound that affirmed this statement.
Instead of continuing to listen to their plan, you panic and dash out your flat...
“Swallow!” Tim looked up and yelled.
Hidden in the bush, Jim, holding his water bottle and with a puzzled face asks, “What? Are you telling me to swallow my water?”
Guilt struck across Tim, face as he saw Jim’s shirt soaked from being startled. “Why did you spit out your water all over yourself?” Asked Tim, “Plus, we are out here looking for birds. And I saw a swallow up in the tree.”...
“If watching cartoons has taught me anything, it’s never run into a rake that is laying down.” I said with a chuckle. Will looked at me blankly, then smirked.
“Yeah, and don’t chase a flightless bird off a cliff.” Will said sarcastically. “Anyways… back to it! Tag, you’re it!” Then started running off to the other side of the yard.
“Will watch…” and wam! I said cringing, trying not to laugh, “...
“Go! Go! It’s gaining on us!”
“I’m going as fast as I can!” Lily said barely able to speak running behind me. “Let’s go into the cave, it’ll be fun. Is this your idea of fun?”
“I didn’t know that thing was going to be in there” I said also barely able to speak, “Some friends said there was a cool cave nearby, and I thought it could make for an exciting date!”
“Well this sure is exciting! Mayb...
Surrounded by smiling faces;
Some forced, some real;
You smile back sharing the graces;
Their hands as cold as steel.
Their empty care is as clear as a glass pane
They try so hard to behave
Yet they do not know another’s pain
You may as well exist alone in a cave.
Look around you are not alone!
Just ignore the feeling lass
Keep looking at your phone,
One day their façade will shatter like gla...
“I need you to listen to me very carefully. You don’t know me, but I know you.” Were the words I kept hearing in my head as we entered the cave. My father in what he knew of tricks, did not know what it may have meant.
“Be on alert son, have an arrow ready in case a threat shows himself,” he said with his sword ready and torch lighting the way.
I notched an arrow, preparing to let it...
A couple married of many, many years went to the park where they’ve shared countless memories when they were younger. They found a spot to sit down and have a picnic. They sat down and smiled to one another. The joy in their smiles was as bright as the sun shining up above. Locking eyes, the wife admired her husband’s eyes that are as blue as the clear sky up above, just as the first time she noti...
He comes home, good or bad mood with a smile. His family, excited to see him, or at least his children. He sweeps them up at once with a big hug. They tell him all sorts of problems they need his help with. He does his best helping them as they desire and need, given a thanks and smile.
Now he finally goes to his wife. She is worn out from wrangling the children. He moves in for a big hug and ki...
