Day 280 - 18. Under
Under your eyes are the shadows
of seventeen winters without sleep.
Your voice cracks under the weight
of the words you're too afraid to speak
and your heart is barely beating
beneath the pressure of the lies they force you to tell.
Your soles are burning from the faltering footsteps
on the bed of your own personal Hell,
and you can't remember sunlight
or the feel of wind or rain:
you only know the silence,
the condemnation and the pain.

Day 172: Smeagol
Life in ruins, destroyed
countless birthdays before
by greed and a glitter
on a river's floor.
Life of shadow, buried
beneath mountain stone
cradling a treasure.
From murder, madness grows.
But this induced joy is fleeting,
fire leaps from a spark,
a whole world up-ended
by riddles in the dark.

Autumn Falls Upon a Scandinavian Landscape
Beneath the sky the mountains sweep,
toes dipped in fjords fathoms deep,
resting on their own reflected height
while wispy white clouds wander by.
The water hums its joyful song
as over rocks it scurries along
and the trees bend lazily under the wind's caress
as the summer at last retires to rest,
taking with it the leaves' verdure,
though the bone-fingered branches will endure.

3Sentence Story - First Flight
The little bird stood nervously on the edge of its nest for the first time. It spread its wings and looked out over the undiscovered world before it, and then at the floor far below. And then it flew.
