He Woke To Screams
As Sai picked his way through the carnage at his feet he tried not to retch. It took a lot to make his stomach churn—as both a seasoned warrior and prince of Cayu Clan he was accustomed to war's ugly aftermath. But this hadn't been a war. It had been a massacre.
He halted before a lifeless victim; the body gazed unseeing at the shocking blue sky, one bloodied hand extended toward it, supported by a large boulder--what

Chapter One
Of Storms, Jocks and Glowing Puddles?
--
Thunder always made me nervous. As it boomed across the sky overhead, following a blinding flash of lightning, I nearly jumped out of my skin, and cowered beside my dog Beastie. The snow-white Eskie was unperturbed, and stood vigil until the skyward drum roll ceased. Even then, I remained crouched beside him, leash tightly clutched in my fingers, heart pounding.
Then came the rain.
It started as a distant patter, rattling the skeletal leaves left on the trees despite winter's efforts to knocked them free. Then, suddenly, it dropped like a bucketful of water. Dog and master became dre

Hello.Hello, my friend.Hello.3 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
How long it's been
Since last you came to play.
Life's been rough,
My skin is tough,
But you look just the same.
Where did you go
When I was low?
I missed your happy face.
Have you returned
With what you learned
In another time and place?
I feel so lost,
So high a cost
Is paid to keep you near.
You tend to drift.
I feel a rift.
Your absence I do fear.
I wish you'd stay
All through the day.
I hate it when you go.
I feel quite old
And very cold
When you leave, my little Soul.
Please come back soon
And bring the Moon,
Myself when I was ten.
And share with me
The dreams that be
Around the coming bend.

A pair of dance shoes never worn,
A piano never played,
A box of dreams unopened,
So many plans mislaid.
A mother’s lot’s not easy,
Her work is never done.
She makes a world for others,
And let’s her own dreams run.
She doesn’t like to hear the praise
She rightfully deserves.
She’s done the Lord’s work faithfully,
Her calling she has served.
Where sacrifice is given,
It will one day be repaid.
The dreams now on the wayside,
Will in Heaven’s time be made.
A mother’s heart is made of gold,
Her voice is angels’ wings,
But best of all, (she knows it not),
She’s grea

Walk into my garden,
beyond the outer wall.
Hear the crickets playing
and water trickling down
the rocks.
Wind whispers in the trees,
while birds chirp happily.
Stay a while.
Walk along the rocky pathway.
Follow laughing grass.
Bask in summer sunlight.
Breathe deeply.
Drink it in.
A precious treasure
lies just ahead.
Turn the corner—
see the squirrels at play?
Just a little farther.
Do you see my roses?
Deepest red, purest white
and vibrant, lovely pink.
These are my roses.
Will you smell them?
. . .
Beautiful!
On we go.
We're nearing the garden's edge.
Ducks waddle by.
Frogs are croaking.

We received the call as we were watching National Treasure, late the evening of December 13th. My older brother answered the phone, and before he even spoke, I felt a pressing ache in my heart. A look of shock shadowed Cameron's face as he listened to the man on the other end of the call.
I told my youngest brother to pause the movie, and get his shoes on, though I wasn't sure yet what the emergency was. Scrambling to obey, also feeling the sudden tenseness of the moment, ten-year-old Landon grabbed his winter boots and coat, while I hurried to my bedroom for mine. Landon was visiting, staying over for the night because otherwise
Spirits Elemental: Excerpt: Lake of FireFire pooled like water in his hands and leaked between his fingers, trickling down into the smoldering lake upon which he stood. It was warm, but not scalding. The flames did not burn him. A smile touched his lips, and he stepped farther into the lake, feet light as embers. Flames licked his bare toes, feeling like a gentle, tickling breeze. Mentally he commanded the flames to grow, and as they rose, they lifted him into the amber sky. He raised his arms, and flames reached up like tiny hands to touch his outstretched fingers. Another mental command, and the burning lake shot forth arcs and sprays of brilliant fire, all to dance about him inSpirits Elemental: Excerpt: Lake of Fire1 year ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This
