Cumulus

Puffy cotton ball
Sails across deep blue background
Angelic vision

Firefly

Floating aimlessly
Lantern tail kisses dark night
Disappear again

Day

Horizon gives birth
Bright yellow dwarf chases night
Illumination

Missing

When you dig deep down into your heart what is it that you find?
Do you feel who you are?
When I search mine I don’t find feelings of any kind
Are they just dormant?
Or am I just blind?
Have they been extinguished forever?
Have they been taken prisoner by these chains that bind?
Hopefully they will come back someday soon so I can feel again
I need them to help push out the thunderstorm that dominates my mind

You

I was water
I flowed as calm as a breeze
You hampered my flux
Stopped a force of nature dead in its tracks
You brought me to my knees
You swept through my forest
You burned down all of my trees
You did it so naturally
You did it with the slightest of ease

Hide

I only show you things I want you to see
I keep certain things from you
Hiding the ugly side of me
You see an ocean full of life
I am an empty sea
My branches overflowing with colorful leaves
Hiding a hollow tree
Laughing and enjoying time with you
But I am shackled and will never truly be free

Black Hole

Event horizon
Incredible gravity
Light can not escape

Lion

Laying under tree
Mane flowing teeth bearing grin
King of the jungle

Tornado

Violent wind swirl
Unpredictable movement
Destruction certain

Serene

Flowing essentials
Cascading freely quenching
Serenity found
