What I Saw Today (or Yesterday rather)

The birds in the sky, they have my envy, and a substantial amount of it at that along with fish, cheetahs and other big cats, But I digress. In looking up at the sky I found my gaze pushed down by the heavy winter that had perched atop of southern Oklahoma. However, I pushed through and ignored the icy blows of the wind. Each second I stared, more and more birds seemed to fill the skies, I shifted my gaze right, down, left, up, and each corner of the sky seemed to just create more and more birds out of thin air. My breath stuck in my throat. to my surprise they were coming, not leaving. I smiled knowing they were smelled the hint of spring in the air, despite my jealousy that my senses were too dull to pick up it’s scent. 

What I Saw Today

Out of the window all that seemed to speak to me were the dead trees with their gaunt twisted fingers reaching for the skies. The world seemed to be moving too fast  for me to take it in, but too slowly to excite the blood in my veins. However, the marks of death scattered through out the scenery that jogged by seemed to seep through the persona presented to the world and whisper to my core. The girl in there was happy to meet them, she was happy they were dead, dead like this land was to her, dead like the person on the outside seemed to her each time thoughts aroused her from sleep. My gaze was dragged forward, half reluctantly, and the streetlights seemed to form a tall wall on either side of the street, making me feel small, and mouse like. However, the instant passed and the whispers of the dead echoed between houses until, the song was over, the thought broken, and she who had woken went back into her deep slumber

A Toy

The wind seemed to be in a hurry as she raged past me towards something that made the mistake of catching her attention. However, once she’d inspected it I felt my hair dancing like a dying flame and realized that Id made that fateful mistake as well. Goosebumps riddled my exposed arms and legs that has the audacity to face her in a battle of endurance. The unstoppable force seemed to have met the immovable object. She raged, trying to take me to Neverland almost like a mermaid. I tensed and my muscles, like good soldiers, obeyed and dug in, keeping me where I stood. I exhaled and hoped that I would soon be rescued from Wind’s wrath and overwhelming power. A moment later, sure as the sunrise, my saviour slowly and clumsily came around the corner and scooped me up; shielding me from the rage of the winds if only for an hour.
