As the gate to the castle came near, Lucinda tore her eyes away from the prince. Partly in fear and curiosity of what lay beyond, Lucinda let out a gasp at the beauty of what lay before her. She turned to Cal and asked, “Is this real?” Cal smiled down at her and said, “Yes Lucinda, it is very real.” “Oh my, it's so grand, I just don't know if I belong.” Cal: “Lucinda of course you belong, I invited you.” Lucinda: “But Cal...

I had always heard stories of the prince of the pond, but had never seen him in real life. I mean, why would I have ever seen him, he lived in the castle at the edge of the lake, surrounded by the great big thistle shrubs. No one ever came out that went inside the shrubs. Oh how I dreamed of one day, getting a glimpse of the prince. I often thought of ways to get inside, or close to the castle. But I never had the courage...

When I look into your eyes of blue I see you. Then why do I feel as though I'm on the outside looking in. When I look into your eyes of blue, I see love. When I look into your eyes of blue, I see kindness. When I look into your eyes of blue, I see joy. When I look into your eyes of blue, I see pain. When I look into your eyes of blue, I see sadness. When I look into your eyes of blue, I see past hurts. When I look into yo...

Why did you have to break my heart? Why did you have to go? Why did you not answer when I called your name?What did I do wrong? You say its not personal, but your wrong it's very personal.You asked me never to lie to you even if it hurt? Will you not do the same for me?Why are you so willing to let go? Isn't our love and friendship worth fighting for? You wanted me to be patient and give you time.Did I give you to much? O...

I notice you standing on the corner, looking lost. As I make my way over to you, I notice your sparkling blue eyes on the verge of tears.  "Are you okay?" You look at me, and the tears escape. "I'm all alone." I stop fully and whisper back, “No, you're not.” I can see the fear and uncertainty on your face and in your eyes. I take your hand and say, "Come, walk with me, tell me what's wrong." You say nothing at first. We j...

Shenanigans I wake up in the morning and oh my there's nothing but shenanigans in the sky. Oh my, oh my, just another day with shenanigans in the sky. The sun is shining as puffy clouds drift by. Oh my, shenanigans in the sky. The puffy clouds drift by as I watch the shenanigans in the sky. Oh what are those puffy clouds up to drifting by. I tell you they're up to no good. Drifting by doing shenanigans in the sky. Oh my,...

TheNaked Truth I see you in the distance tall and robust. Majestic in the light of day or under the pale moonlight. I've watched you grow and wished I had your strength. That I could be held in your out stretched branches. Feeling your warmth envelope me as I sit beneath you. Watching you as you bare your soul for me. The colors of the rainbow flutter to the ground. This is the time we both hate. The moment we must part w...

Trees Trees are lone sentinels in a vast land. Living breathing survivors in a society that destroys. Persevering in that fight. They exist to give shelter to many. Without trees would we have homes or heat, birds or other wild life. I feel like a tree sometimes, alone yet surrounded by many. A survivor basking in the glow of perseverance. Sheltered as well as giving shelter. Teaching yet always learning. Yes you can lear...
