Fierce Firefly's Reflection
A night so dark, stars failed to shine. A lone light hovered brightly, mirrored upon the lake below.
The light drew close, the darkness of the lake briefly swallowed all, before setting ablaze with a thousand shimmering reflections of a single firefly. The glow glinted over ripples and small waves that formed in the wake of creatures swimming just beneath the surface.
Closer and closer the firefly drew, entranced by the shimmering of its own image. When suddenly from the murky depths a tongue, long and sticky snapped it up.
Yet even after being eaten so, the firefly continued to fiercely glow. Leaving the frog who ate it bereft, its body shone so bright, it starved to death.

Dappled Despair
I hear it shallow, shattered, hollow, pitter patter down it goes. Rain is drizzling, pouring, sizzling, drowning me and all it knows.
The sky it cries, I don't know why, I hear its torn and windy moans. The rain is lashing, striking, slashing, washing clean the world below.
I shiver cold, a hurt so bold, it burns and stings my very soul. I cry out soundless, lost and bound, I realize now I am alone. Dappled in the pouring torrent, seeking relief, though now I know. Our worlds despair is always there, speaking to us as it goes.
Silently I contemplate, shivering in such a state, a new profound enlightening. I realize what I am and whisper softly to the rain 'I am Dappled Despair and I feel your pain..'

Sings-of-Sunlight
Carefully, lovingly, placed in the dark, beneath the shade and needled bark, amongst the stars on a moonless night only to hatch in the suns bright light.
The heat of day came bearing down, searing all the air around, burning through all things it touched, through shady leaves and underbrush.
Touching flesh too soft and new to stand such bright and searing hues, bleaching pale like white fish bones, and scorching marks in sun colored tones. A scream wrung from fresh agony, that bled and twisted noisily, into a song so high and bright, it made all else feel cool as night.
Singing all the suns great praise, loving it despite his pain.
He Sings of Sunlight till he weeps, till he dies, an endless sleep. On murkiest nights and through blackest storms.
He Sings of Sunlight evermore.

Hollow Reprise
Please, no, and never.
I loathe a rhyme; it is not clever!
I will go on without cadence, stab your rhythm, then abandon it.
I have no tune, my tone is hollow.
I care not for today or tomorrow.
These dreams reflect nothing, and I could hardly care.
I will die, decay, and wither off somewhere.
Without giving the world what it would want of me.
I am Hollow Reprise....Emptiness on Repeat?
A sour note that refuses to stay with the beat.

Thoughtless Breathing
"Always Sing!"
Her father said.
Her voice was raspy, quiet, dead.
"Let the sunlight ease your pain."
She had not the mind to see his aim.
Thoughtless Breathing; in and out..in..out...in......out...........

Light-Over-Water, as old as the past.
Light-Over-Water, never meant to last....

There is no breathing, that would spoil it.
Quiet, seething, he controls it.
Perfect, poised, not a hair out of place.
Decidedly, unearthly grace.
Easy Balance is his way.
And it will take his life someday...

[center] Vibrant Humming
The sun is warm and even through the grayness that surrounds me, I can feel the hints of life. A noise soft and low emits through the air, my small body vibrates with it, my mind and my senses twitch with anticipation. The noise the vibration it changes pitch, low and deep and then high and sweet like the world is shifting. Then everything changes almost violently, colors explode vibrantly and the noise is now almost deafening to my tiny new ears.
Yet still that vibration, that that humming..it brings me around, makes me feel alive as I take my first gasping breath and open my small bright eyes, seeing the world in its amazing hues the streaks of sun and the noise of life buzzing and humming around me.

I've got no strings
So I have fun
I'm not tied up to anyone
They've got strings
But you can see
There are no strings on me!

The beast crawled up from the depths of the earth.
Blacker than the darkness, eyes like oil; a maw dripping with old blood.
It snatched them up, one by one, pale little babes soft and screeching.
Locked away in a bramble-bone cage; where they flitted and scrabbled for freedom.
Close to its home, close to its heart.
It would come to them, one by one, plucking them up as it hungered.
Ever hushing "Be Still My Soul"; before devouring them whole.
One little soul refused to be still, eyes streaked with ashen tears, flesh colored of moonlight.
She waited, waited, until the beast came again.
Until it came to pluck her up by the tail.
She wailed staring down into death, she fought; she fled.
The great beast called out, mocking in it's terrible laughter; ever a hungry whisper at her back "Run, run, faster than death, never will I let my soul rest!"
Be Still My Soul
