Relieve me.
Of the exhaustion.
Of the illness.
Of the conscious nothingness.
Of hatred.
Of pointlessness.
Of the want to be wanted.
Of the dependency.
Of thought.
Of emotion.
Of desire.
Of confusion.
Of pain.

She wanders the desert alone
Knowing and feeling that she's looking for something
She's not sure what it is or why she needs it, but that doesn't stop her from searching
She lost track of time and days
Growing weak and confused
What is it all for?
A yew tree stands in the distance providing temporary shade
She stayed at that tree to wait
Something inside told her she would find what she was looking for there
The sun set and the moon arose bringing relief to the land dried from the sun's harsheties
What is it all for?
She stepped from the tree to bathe in the moonlight
An owl by the name of White Thunder awoke and saw her from the tree
Captivated, the owl took flight making circles over her as she danced
What is it all for?
She grew tired and fell to the ground to watch the sky
She instantly spotted White Thunder, saw the owl staring at her, and she knew that had been what she was looking for

The picture you paint

Forces me to mentally repaint

I deem it quaint

But it makes me enjoy the scenery you paint

And thank my stars for having you and I acquaint

I have no complaint

There’s no way my name by you will have a bad taint

I can never faint

Neither must I put in place any constraint

Even a world like a giant hand cannot me constraint

They can try to deceive me like a footballer trying a feint

But my mind is already made, you are my worldly saint.

Finally someone
That could be
That could stay
Despite my jealousy
You didn't runaway

So thankful
To be so lucky
To be with you
A man so caring
Someone faithful too

I thought
I would be sad
I would be alone
Wondering clueless
Living life on my own

But suddenly
I was blessed
I was gifted
You entered my life
Then my heart lifted

You are
Everything I want
Everything I need
Without my soul mate
My life would bleed

For once in my life
Something great
Something new
To be happily in love
Together with you
