Morning air chilled with the first frost of fall.Exhaled breath hangs on the breeze with a lull. Roofs covered with glowing jewels sparkling. Half moon mid-sky breaks night's darkening. Casting beams of pure joy upon the ground. Voice of an owl carries with a crisp resound. Leaves on the trees will show colors of fire.Fall's beauty before long, we all can admire. Morning sun will rise spreading his warmness.Luna awaits to...

Cards held to my chest Who I see is who I be Off on a vision quest Running wild and free Few taken to be my guest Never fearing a decree Not damaging my nest Safely inside my fantasy Doing no other harm Request never declined Magic being the charm Cast regularly assigned Refusing to sound an alarm Voices perceived always kind Together arm in arm Images lucent in my mind Roaming free not the prey At no other's mercy No gui...

A raven came in a dream and called me owl A wolf came growling and said I cry foul He is not an owl I think he is kin to the devil Surrounding me with fire on a spiritual level Raven cawed casting some magic of his own He is only troubled I think he has no home Wolf arched his back giving an eerie howl The one called owl hoo hooted with a scowl Along came coyote to join with his friends Yipping loudly owl needs to make am...

Walking out into a starlit night.My heart is filled with delight. Hearing your call in the dark.Wondrous sound, not at all stark. Searching the shadows I find you.Again hearing, your hoot hoo hoo In the top of a lonesome pine.You are silhouetted like a sign. Against the stars and slivered moon.I listen closely, hearing your croon. Are you speaking to your mate?Belly full of mice you have ate. Or saying, your owlets have f...

Sometimes the most brilliant colors are visible, just before darkness blocks the sun. If one waits, the night sky comes alive, with the sparkle from millions of stars. Brandishing flickers, a dazzling emblazon of light. Never replacing,but enhancing night's beauty. An array of dancing effervescence,splashed upon a dark pallet. Like sequins on a black satin dress, arranged as if flicked by an artist's finger, releasing the...

When a child's innocence is lostDoes anyone see the true cost Taken much before they are preparedThoughts confused often being scared By someone who's wanting to stealTheir genuine intent they'll conceal Only caring about their needConsumed by lust and greed Does not matter who they hurtWords of admiration they blurt Gaining trust and appreciationLocking them into domination Leading these cherubs to slaughterOur youth our...

In my heart I know that in reality, I am in control. But in my mind of fantasy, I feel compelling forces. Tugging with such might, I begin to tail spin, lost. Unable to bring myself back to centre, held in limbo. Fighting equilibrium, giving in, because of dizziness. Voices within my head, compounding my quandary. Barks of do this, no, do that, where do they come from? Delirium causing me to further question my sanity. He...

While talking with a new acquaintance, this came up in the conversation. She told me, "ahh but my dear didn't you know that broken things hold the most beauty in the world, it is our imperfections that make us who we are, me yes I search for love, life, and I see beauty in everything around me. Even myself, took me a long time to see that my dear." My reply was, "Glad that you have found beauty in everything including you...

Wild wind blows across prairie wide. Jostling everything from side to side. Booming in the distance, thunder rolls. Forked fire across darkened sky scrolls. Upon roofs, falling rain droplets dance. Chanting a symphony, as they prance. Soft lullaby, helping tired minds relax. Transported into dreamland, a parallax. Visions frolic, creating images bona fide. Gently swayed to slumber, my love beside.

An old alpha peers at a winter moon.For lady wolf, his heart does swoon. Longing for days when they pranced.Stalking like shadows they advanced. Their kits safely snuggled in the den. A time nearly lost, way back when. Now having to prowl the forest alone. No longer this alpha sits on his throne. Not having a mate or pack to call his own.Frail and weak, just hair, skin and bone. Reliving days when he was a young pup.Memor...

An angel watches over me.Knowing all about who I be. Never, am I far from her sight.Though dark, she is always trite. Her gaze I can't prevaricate. Indiscretion she does mitigate. Always welcoming me back.As I venture into the black. Stretching out her wings to me.Color of coal and singed they be. Offering a hug and a snide word. Angel's vision is never blurred. She knows my darkest secrets.She knows my deepest regrets. S...

The sound of a Canary finch's song.Watching clouds cross the heavens.Simple things, that keep me strong. A glass half full, not half empty.Is what I always try to see.Blessings, life rewards a plenty. The call of a Raven, is not evil.Sweet music, to calm me really. Causing good memory retrieval. The babble of a brook passing by.Soothes my soul, relaxing me. Taking it all in, is a natural high. Helping to obscure my though...

Many things in life I have seen and done.Makes me wonder, am I the devil's son? Though I really do not want to be.Times he seems to have hold of me. Does Satan play tricks with my mind?Causing me to sometimes be unkind. When in reality, all I strive to be.Is a loving, caring soul you see. Occasionally I don't feel in control.Drug backward through a black hole. Images playing on my mind's screen.Leaves me chilled, wanting...

The flicker of a candle’s glow brightens the darkest caverns, illuminating gloomy passages, casting shadows upon the walls of the hand, that shields it’s flame from gusty breezes. Providing a warm ambiance, carrying the bearer forward, guiding their way home, out from the darkness, returning them into the light, silencing menacing voices. Inspired by one of Stories Spaces own. Her name (candle_in_the_wind) her work brings...
