I broke free from my chain
My body hurts from the pain
Humiliated, hurt, starved
Scars on my soul, forever carved

A fire burns in my eye
Brighter than the sky
I shake of the cold
Feeling a little bold

I run for the door
My feet pound on the floor
A light awaits me
I will be free

But I can’t
The door closes
The light fades
I’m trapped.
Again

I slump and close my eyes.
I pray to die.
Why? I ask
Why.

War
We humans.
Greed.
Lust.
Kindness lies deep,
but barely reaches the surface.
those with kindness can so so little in war.
Blood and burning fields.
Since the beginning of man,
people kills for wealth and land.

Everyone has them.
Some big, some small.
Whispers on the mind,
Whispers in the halls.
Some sacred, some funny.
Some sad, some mad.
but secrets nonetheless.
People die for them.
people fight for them.
just a few words.

His name was henry, oh yes, he was,
But don’t ask me how he died, i don’t know the cause.

I think it’s so unfair how this is it,
He never even got to fly in a fit.

I hope he flies free in heaven,
He was not even in weeks, seven!

Right now he’s in the ground,
Not moving nor making a sound.

I remember how he looked when he died,
Dead, starring with those half open eyes.

He was supposed to fly free,
And with a mate, he was to be.

I still see him every second in my mind,
His portrait lingers, with every thought i find.

I hope he can forgive me for what i’ve done, he was supposed to live; i didn’t bring him home for fun.

Maybe he still looks at me from the sky, the day he died, for hours i cried.

So i say this now, with a bow and a sad smile, fly free in the sky, henry, fly for miles.

GRAY, BLACK FUR, FLYING THROUGH THE WIND,FOLLOWING EACH OTHER, FOLLOWING PREY. HUNTING TOGETHER, HUNTING AS ONE. THEY TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER. THE LEADER, BETA AND HUNTERS HINT. PUPS GROW. LIFE OF A WOLF.

Running up the mountains, and i suddenly see, four frozen fountains, as still as can be. One with a wolf, another a robin, one with sculpted figures as small as a ball for golf, and fourth- the word, forgotten.
As i go up to the fountains, i find others three, they must have traveled up the mountains, as like thy. We suddenly see a sparkling light, and all four fountains melted in sight.
That couldn’t be possible as it’s winter alright, but warm water ran in the fountains in this cold night. 4 bright figures suddenly appeared, and all four figures appeared on my skin- seard.
Four on me, 1 on each, that’s what i see, and then there was a peach.
I wasn’t that just to rhyme, there was a peach there like ice, we all went to touch it and them i see……

LIFE IS A HORROR, LIFE IS A DREAM,
LIFE IS A FANTASY AND A MYSTERY.

WE LOOK UP INTO THE MOVING  SKY,
AS THE SUN SETS SO THE MOON CAN RISE,
SHADOWS CRAWL ON THE WALLS,
THE WAVES ON THE WAVES ON THE BEACH RISES AND FALLS.

A STAR FILLED BLANKET COVERING THE GROUND,
OVER A PLACE SO BIG THAT LOST THINGS CAN'T BE FOUND.
THE CIRCLE OF LIFE ALL AROUND US,
COME ABOARD THE LIFE BUS.

THINGS AGE AND GROW OLD,
AS NEW BEINGS GROW UP WITH TALES BEING TOLD.
FOREST GREENS, AND OCEAN BLUES,
I LOOK UP AND FOUND MY MUSE.


WE LOOK UP INTO THE MOVING  SKY,
AS THE SUN SETS SO THE MOON CAN RISE,
SHADOWS CRAWL ON THE WALLS,
THE WAVES ON THE WAVES ON THE BEACH RISES AND FALLS.

LIFE CONTINUES AND LIFE GOES ON,
WE JUST HAVE TO FOLLOW AND MOVE ON.
