      @joy-caroline That was great!

      Lately, it's been on my brain
      Would you mind letting me know
      If hours don't turn into days

          Just came up with this on a whim and thought I’d stick it here!

          In the woods.

          In the meadow

          in the woods

          listen softly

          to the woods

          there’s a widow

          crying there

          and there’s a son

          lying there.

          In the meadow

          in the woods

          Listen closely

          to all who told

          for silver and gold

          sing a melody

          in the meadow

          in the woods.

          Sleep now soundly

          in the woods

          Find your dreamland

          filled with dreams

          In the meadow

          in the woods

          Listen hardly

          in the woods

          for there’s a river

          in the woods

          Close your eyes with dreams of fireflies

          in the meadow

          in the woods

          The trees are singing

          To all who would

          so listen closely

          to the woods.

          A bird is singing

          for she knows

          the thoughts you whispered

          in the woods.

           

          "It's easy to be caught up in stardust and whispers when reality is so dark and loud."

                        Hey everybody.. I wrote a poem that I wanted to share..

                         
                        <p style=”text-align: center;”>Forever Perfect | A Poem</p>
                        <p style=”text-align: center;”>The pixie child went out to play
                        Betwixt the grass and trees one day
                        With the wind at her back, and soft earth underfoot
                        Her sight: it was caught, one mere step forth she put
                        For ’twas a young boy, eyes pure emerald green
                        His hair jet-black, waving in a breeze unseen
                        His eye caught hers, and the pixie ran
                        But it was too late, he held her heart in his hands
                        The boy came forth, and the little pixie peeked
                        ‘Round the tree, and she gave a small squeak
                        The boy, he had seen her, the chance was now to run
                        But her feet were rooted to the spot, she couldn’t move one
                        The boy now stood beside her, and gave a hello,
                        He asked the pixie her name, he wanted to know
                        The pixie tilted her head, and murmured her name,
                        The most forbidden of things, but she felt he was the same
                        She stared into his eyes: pools of purest jade,
                        His smile a dream, only goodness it bade
                        He reached for her hand, and the pixie shrank back
                        For if a human ever touched her, her magic she would lack
                        But this boy, he was different, he was a friend
                        She somehow knew he was goodhearted, truthful ’til the end
                        The pixie fought against every rule she could know
                        Then she took the boy’s hand, and felt herself glow
                        She knew the power of friendship, stronger than magic
                        And stronger than that; love, too, she felt ecstatic
                        She had something for herself, someone to love
                        Someone to lean on when life became tough
                        The pixie felt complete, her hand in the boy’s
                        And they played in the woods, the pictures of joy
                        From the two children sparked something between
                        A tender relationship, still buried, unseen
                        As they played in the wood that day and times more,
                        The pixie knew it had opened a door
                        And she knew it was right when her boy she had told
                        “I love you,” and took his hand to hold
                        They walked and they played
                        Over the grasses’ green blades
                        And shared happiness between the trees
                        They were forever perfect, ethereal, and always would be.</p>

                        staring at the fields
                        if nothing's really real
                        i'll make the winter now my home

                                  Remember me softly, on a noisy, hard day.

                                  I remember the words you spoke, before you went away.

                                  We waited at the window, watching for you.

                                  But when word came that you’d run, our sorrow just grew.

                                  Remember me softly, on a noisy, hard day.

                                  I remember you softly, but no longer without edge.

                                  And at night, I can still see your horse, riding into the hedge.

                                  Mama gasped and she cried when she knew

                                  That no longer would we be waiting for you.

                                  The soldiers came to carry you away

                                  and we told them that we hadn’t seen your for days,

                                  which was true.

                                  And from that day forward, I stopped waiting for you.

                                  My friend, didn’t you know?

                                  How it pained us to watch you go?

                                  I still remember you softly, on noisy, hard days, but not without ache, and not without pain.

                                  A bird said she’d heard the gunshots

                                  a few miles away

                                  And trust when I say,

                                  that I remembered you especially well, that noisy, hard day.

                                  "It's easy to be caught up in stardust and whispers when reality is so dark and loud."
