@The Halcyon Girl @SmilingPanda19 been thinking of you two a lot today. Love you both and everyone else who reads this too ❤️

 

Tears (10/22/23)

  Hide contents

Tears flow from the boy

Staining the bed

The pillow 

The cat

 

The boy weeps for the pain

The all consuming pain of a fallen world

Where everyone hurts

And keeps on hurting

Because so much is wrong with the world

 

And the boy wishes to fix it

To wrap everyone in darkness

at home alone

late at night

when the thoughts have the most power

He wants to be there

For them

For everyone 

To wrap them in a warm hug

And to hold them through their darkest nights

 

And so he cries

Because he can feel their pain

Feel it growing

Feeding their inner darkness especially

Threatening to choke them

 

He cries 

Sniffles

Blows his nose

And hugs the cat

 

Turning once again to God

He cries 

Barely able to form the words

Only able to think in raw pure emotion.

 

Everything else burned away

But raw pure emotion

And care

Flaring so bright 

 

He weeps even harder

As he remembers a phrase

And the one who knows his pain

Intimately

Personally 

Fully

And knows and loves him 

Along with all the others

 

The words come again

Be Still

And know that I am God

 

The wheels spin rapidly in the boys head

As understanding comes to him

Peace washes over him

Removing his worry

But leaving the care

Burning brighter than the sun

 

The boy lays on his bed after midnight

And smiles at the ceiling 

To the heavens above

Where a loving Father

Smiles down on all of his wonderful 

Beautiful 

Intelligent 

Loved

And Talented children 

His children

In the image of their father

Crowned with love and glory

 

Gethsemane (10/22/23)

  Hide contents

There was a boy

Who thought he knew the greatest pain

Until he remembered

His Savior, Redeemer, and brother

Who suffered all the pain he would ever know

In three hours

And the suffering his friends felt

And the billions and possibly trillions of people

Who had ever lived on the earth

 

All their sadness

Pain

Suffering 

Sadness

Abuse 

Anger

Malice

Wounds

Death

He felt it all

 

He felt for the dying man who could hardly remember his wife's face

For the mother who died after seeing her firstborn for the first and only time

For the father as he lost his firstborn weeks after he lost his wife.

 

The sorrow overwhelming

It caused even him

The Son of God

To bleed from every pore

For the pain and suffering of every person

 

The boy wondered how he did it

How he survived the soul crushing grief

Loss

Pain

Suffering 

Of all people

 

Perhaps, the boy wondered 

He felt everything from everyone 

Both the good and the bad

Otherwise how could he know everyone intimately and personally 

To know how to perfectly love them and give them exactly what they needed 

Even if it wasn't what they wanted

 

He knows me, marveled the boy

He knows me perfectly 

And warmth blossomed in his chest

Spreading out to his fingers and toes

And he realized that the Savior knew this moment too

He knew each moment he breathed

Both good and bad

 

He suffered so that none would be alone, mused the boy

And the warmth returned again 

This time with a quiet peaceful voice

"Yes I did it my child because I love you. 

I love all of my children.

And I like you don’t want any of them to suffer in the dark alone.

I am always there

For you

And for them

I love you my child."

 

Godly Sorrow (10/22/23)

  Hide contents

The sorrow of a father for his children is great 

Oh how much greater is the sorrow of a Heavenly Father

For us

His spirit children

 

He knows we suffer

He knows all of our pains and trials

Intimately and personally

But his love is far too great

To give us lesser things

 

So he watched with pain and love

As he sees us stumble and fall

Make mistakes Over And Over And Over Again

Watches us fall in inescapable darkness

The agency of others tormenting and twisting us

 

He lets us suffer because he loves us

He puts people in our lives to lift us up

To bond us with our pain and troubles

To build something beautiful 

Something grander and more wondrous than we could have known

 

He loves us so much that he can’t help us reach anything but our full potential 

As his spirit sons and daughters

All beautiful to his eyes

Wonderfully talented in so many unique and amazing ways

Each loved for just who they are

By a loving Father in Heaven

 

@Thaidakar the Ghostblood @Edema Rue this one was kinda inspired because of your SU Thaid :)

I know the plan (10/30/23)

  Reveal hidden contents

I know the plan

I know why I'm here

I know the path

But then

Why is it so hard to walk

 

I want to walk it

I really really do

But my mind seems not to

Coming up with images I don’t want to see

Family and friends death for various reasons

Worst of all 

usually by me

 

I just get distracted 

And the day flies by

Nothing I wanted to do done at all 

And mind poisoned instead

 

I knew life was going to be hard

That it was going to hurt

That I will have to suffer loss

But why then is it 

So terrifying to imagine a world without any of them

 

It drives me to my knees

Again

And again

And again

Crying

Feeling

Terrified

Hopeless

And alone

 

Bowing my head

Night after

Night

Crying on Ember

Terrified of losing her too

Hoping for a night Radiant

And resplendent 

In writing

And the Spirit

And comfort 

And Light

 

I know God is there

I know that he will feel distant 

But it hurts so much

And I turn to him

Knowing he can help

But that sometimes nights are just going to be hard.

And peace takes time

And sometimes

Sometimes

Blessings come through raindrops 

And healing through tears

And pain vanishes loving a friend miles away

 

Except…

Except it sometimes grows worse

Because not being able to be there in person

Is a very exquisite pain

And one I'd never get rid of

If it meant not loving them

Because I just love them

And can't stop

 

I try to trust that someday

Someday

Everything will get better

Maybe not completely

As that day seems ages away

But at least slightly better

 

Hope peeks from behind the clouds

Finally lighting

These dark nights

Burning away the mists

Of depression 

Paving the way for

Gentle

Kindly

Love

 

Beautiful, Wizard, simply and truly... 

beautiful.

There is little else to say about these words you have written. They are beautiful, amazing, wonderful... but none of them quite sums it up.

The day the Raven fell

(Warning: will have blood and is very very sad. Be warry.)

Spoiler

The day the Raven fell, Laura wasn't doing anything.

She was laughing as she fought alongside her husband and partner, Aero.

Her knives flashing, her air whipping around her and the blood of her enemies falling around her.

She still reveled in the fight. She'd been free from the Rose Assassins for five years now. A part of her however still loved the fight, the thrill, the challenge! 

Today wasn't a challenge though and so nothing was going on. 

She finished all the enemies around her, leaving their still lifeless forms behind and walked over to Aero grinning.

"So, how many did you take down this time?"

He smiled at her, that goofy simple smile she loved. "About three times less than you, My Rose."

Laura blushed happily and entwined her hands in his staring up into his sparkling green eyes.

"I love you," she mouthed. Hands busy holding his hands.

His smile deepened and his eyes glowing with love. Gently he squeezed her hands. 

"And I love you, Laura."

She smiled, a small little smile forming on her face without her knowing it. She leaned forward and kissed him, still dirty after the battle.

He grinned and passionately kissed her back.

The familiar whistle of arrows filled the air, interrupting their moment. Together they pushed, twin blasts of air scattering the arrows from the air.

Except for one, still whistling on track, headed straight for Laura.

Time crystallized as she reached out with air in an attempt to slap it away. Her tendrils slipped around the arrow. It was slippery, untouchable, something surprising.

The arrow arced towards her, seconds away. Laura starred down her death as she had many times. This time final.

And then Aero stepped right up infront of her, just before the arrow plunged into her chest. 

He slumped against her, groaning and gritting his teeth against the pain.

And she...she screamed. In terrible rage and terror. Which grew into large gasping, rasping tears as a second arrow pierced his side.

"Aero," she rasped out. Her voice raw and hissing. Still affected by the thorns once laced around her neck.

"I'm still here," he gasped out, coughing up blood. "I'm here my R-rose." 

A third arrow fell into his back and he fell mostly still. Eyes shut tight against the pain, hovering between life and death.

"And, and I you, my Raven." Choked out Laura as she cried against Aero's chest until he forced her hands away. Shoving her away and blasting her back into the treeline, away from the archer.

The backlash pushed him backwards too and he topped off the cliff, body falling lifelessly into the river below.

Laura collapsed against the base of the tree, tears flowing freely. Her whole body was numb. Her raven, her sweet beloved raven was gone...forever. 

 

Eventually the assassin wandered into the woods. Looking to finish off the job. He found the spot where she was empty and he growled in frustration. She was gone, his prey was gone. And that was his last though as Laura's knives relieved his head from his body.

Again she collapsed against a tree. He was gone...why should she care to live...when he was gone. 

Aimlessly she wandered into the woods, not caring where she went or what happened to her.

*many many hugs*

Those were beautiful words…and that was a beautiful death.

Also, ouch. You storming killed…

This one I don't know how it went...Hope it went okay. 

@Edema Rue

Hope

Spoiler

At first glance

Hope might seem

Like a terrible thing

On second glance it seems

To send hopes soaring

To tear them all down

Leaving you in the darkest pits

 

But what hope really is 

Is praying for a friend to find friends

Who see them and loves them

Wishing and hurting and watching

Always loving 

Always always always loving them

 

Hope is

wishing healing for a dying pet

Watching and watching

Staying up and crying

And getting hugs

From those near and far

Until peace binds up your broken heart

 

Hope is finding 

Unexpected surprises

Verses of scripture, of healing

You swore were never there before 

 

Hope is 

A mother and father

Waiting and waiting 

Watching for a wayward son to come home

 

Hope is

A child with a broken bike

Watching racers pass him by

And a girl getting off her bike

To help him reach the end

 

Hope is an old man

Barely clinging to life 

Waiting to see his family

One last time

 

Hope is Faith

That a world fallen as ours

Filled with pain and suffering

Will one day

Be reclaimed

And made anew

All thing awash in light

Free from pain and strife and wars

Full of love for all

Someone always there for everyone

Glorious light

Alighting all minds

Also known as hope

I don’t even have the words to respond to the beauty you create. What a powerful, precious message. I can feel the emotion, the care, the hope in your writing. 

I…I don’t even know what to say. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Almost gone

Spoiler

I can hear her now.

Labored breathing,

raspy breaths

Each one harder than the last

 

Her orange and brown and black coat

Heaves up and down

As she lethargically lays 

Energy spend 

Tumbling off the bed

Thudding to the ground

 

I rush over and pick her up

Cradling her in my arms 

She doesn't even weakly protest

Just flopping her head against my shoulder 

 

Her bottom is wet

And sticky

My heart shriveled

As I realize she didn't have energy to reach the bathroom

 

And so I write

Late a night

Watching her

Putting her

Unable to sleep

 

I cried as I started this 

Crying on Ember

As I have 

During the darkest nights

She was always a light

A friend

There to keep away the darkness

Her purrs against my chest

Calming me

Lulling me to sleep 

 

And now...

Now she can barely purr

Exhausting herself

Just a wisp of the Ember she used to be

Her light fading

Fading away

Almost gone...

Until one morning

I'll awake to find her light gone out

Her body lifeless and cold 

Her Ember extinguished

Once again, I find myself with tears instead of words. You bring back memories of a life that used to be…and can never be again.

If I could wrap my arms around you and give you a long, tight hug, I would, because no words can say the things that need to be felt.

Ember and the Caretaker

Spoiler

The day had come

The darkest hour

My best friend was gone

And I alone in the night

 

Until the feeling of a check rubbing on mine

And feet walking across my back

Leads me to listen

 

A story unfolds

A new beginning 

The end for now, for us

But for Ember, a new beginning 

 

She ran and pounced

Sprinting around

Exalting in no longer

Having to pause after a few feet

No longer out of breath

No longer hurting 

 

Finally, finally she could breath

And play

But...where was everyone?

Wasn't there supposed to be people here? Her people?

 

She ran around, looking in trees and holes in the ground Until she found a little garden

She pounced through it

Attacking the leaves of vegetables here and there

 

Until she attacked a hairy thing. The man looked down at her and smiled. His eyes reflecting a kindly light. "Hello little one," he smiled. You have a familiar light. Perhaps you'd stay with me for a season until my daughter and her family are reunited with us. 

She considers and starts purring, rubbing up against his leg and then walking off, wondering why he isn’t following and petting her.

The man laughs and smiles. Petting her all the way home and letting her ride on his shoulders to a home filled with many animals.
