When those magnificent creatures appeared in front of me, I felt no fear. Gleaming white fur that contrasted against the browns and greens of the forest, their bright blue eyes pierced through me. I am not like the rest of so-called civilization, I know better than to demonize these beings; they are so full of love and joy and are everything that humanity is missing. Still, I knew to stay where I was, true they are normally shy of humans, but if they were sick or scared then who knew what they would do; yet I could sense that they meant me no harm and I would stay by their side to bask in their glory until they chose to leave me.
One sees all the twinkling lights And assume that they are lonely They seem so far apart But are truly close together The assumption is they are cramped Fighting over space, but that’s not true They flit around each other and hold hands They touch and smile They are happy and love seeing the others happy too
You look around to see everything dead and gone An absence of colour that is noticeable The world is a cold void, a lonely path to walk The journey is endless, the walk is long But after some time, the colours come Vibrant and beautiful Yet only for a time before they brighten more and more Then they dull and the cycle begins again
She enjoyed the feeling of snow flowing through her hands as she picked it up and threw it in the air.
The bare trees around her were quiet as they witnessed her fun, their dead sticks lay on the ground pitifully, brown and light green against the white. The grey clouds were fat and the snow seemed endless, but she paid no heed. She heard a noise and turned to see her favourite wolf pack were gazing upon her.
She gave a smile and a wave before they bound to her and they all danced and played until the sun set.
My insides were in knots as I drove to my sisters’ place. Her voice on the phone was icy and she’d never used that tone with me before; surely she hadn’t called because she found out…no, I had to calm down, there was no way that anyone would know about that, especially not her.
The feeling hadn’t abated even when I pulled up into her driveway and walked up to her door. The door opened as I knocked once and despite my better judgement, I entered her house and called her name. She just stood there and looked at me before she said:
“I know you’ve been sleeping with my husband.”
She stared at me for a moment, then plunged the knife into my stomach.
We had to wave goodbye Separated for a short passage of time Hoping that it will pass soon It slowly ticked by Miles and miles of distance I still waited and knew you did too My prayers would be answered And they were Time had stretched long But hope hadn’t been given up And the reward was handed down As we embraced for eternity
Once, there was a dark and gloomy house It was empty, cold Clouds rose above, rain was constant Sadness permeated through its aura People came to look and then went away Until one gave it a chance They opened the doors Sweetness floated in Light followed They stayed a long time, but it wasn’t the end Still today, the song of the birds can be heard outside the window
