Forest Revere

A moment alone

In a forest of one

Brings clarity

Clears rebellion.

 

The wind in the trees

Whisper softly to me

Of secrets 

And gentle reminders.

 

They tell me I’m not alone

Though no one I see

Because Someone

Is always walking with me.

 

The birds chirp loudly

And fly over head

Startling me

out of revere.

 

I look to the sky

Notice clouds that drift by

Painted the colors

Of the sun’s slowing death.

Yet I am reminded

It is not a permanent one

Because I know

That was changed by Someone.

 

Prove it?

No,

I’m happy

As is.

The second picture is one I’ve manipulated a bit because I couldn’t find any of my sunset pictures.

If Only, If Only

Sometimes she wondered if life would have been easier if she had never been found, if she had stayed in her little world that never went further than the edge of the trees and had absolutely nothing to do with humans.

Or anything with only one form.

Beings that had one form and were able to sweet talk you into leaving your own home behind were trouble, just like her brother had always said.

Nothing good will come from the humans, little sister. He would admonish her whenever she wanted to hear more about what little he knew about the strange creatures that would seldom come to their little corner of the world.

She wished she had listened as she moved slightly and the sound of chains was the only reply to the movement.
