Adrianna, I loved you even before you were beautiful
I loved you when you were real
I loved you for the warmth you brought
I loved you for the energy you gave me
I loved you before the crushing pressure gave way to your rebirth
Adrianna, now you are beautiful
Shatteringly breathtaking is your radiance
Adrianna, I loved you before you were beautiful
"But there is a beauty one cannot love"
A beauty only to be regarded with awe and admiration"
Adrianna, I loved you before you were beautiful
I loved you when you were of the earth
Now you are light and stardust
Stunning but untouchable, out of reach
Adrianna, I loved you before you were beautiful
Now you are,
I can love you no more
Gambling in the forest took on a whole new flavor today.
The princess Adrianna joined us, bringing dice to the fray.
We shook them and threw them, hoping for the big win.
Antlered deer had trouble, his hoofs are so thick, not thin.
Barn owl came to join us, he likes red apples too.
We congratulated him on his flight and the way he flew.
Antlered deer asked us to give him another roll, please.
We said okay, but the dice flipped over against the breeze.
He is cheating! The spoiled pointy-hatted princess yelled.
An arrow came by, but it was quickly diverted and felled.
Gambling in the forest is great! Said the rabbit up high.
All I want is one apple the deer said with a cough and sigh.
we never planned this,
we never tried.

DEDICATED TO MY SISTER ADRIANNA CASTANEDA THAT I LUV SO MUCH
Did you ever reach out
Just reach out your arm
To catch a night star
To hold in your hand?
Did you ever see light
It shines out so bright
You can see it so clearly
There’s nothing but sight
Did you ever see air
That we need to breathe
In order to live
Just can’t be seen
Did you ever hear a call
And capture the all
Hold it right back
Try make it crawl
Did you ever wonder at life
How it comes and it goes
It can change the world
Just like the snow
Did you ever look for love
To hold in your heart
To catch just the feeling
And put in a jar
Did you ever find it
Looking high and low
Searching around
From whence it flows
Did you ever find a friend
Who holds out her hand
Who touches your soul
Who just understands
Did you ever know her name
As it whispers around
Listen quietly now
You might hear a sound
Did you ever see a chain
It bonds you together
It’s made of such magic
And light as a feather
To you my dear friend
I just say thank you
In a world that is lacking
I know you are true
