Forgotten Life

Often it is not understood,
just how alive the world is.

You look out the window, see the still trees, and you think,

"Sure, they're alive, but not like me. They don't move, think or see."

But maybe, if you bothered to ask,
you might find they are just as intelligent as we.
And if you may fall in the forest,
It is said Dryads are the best healers.

You may think the wind is just fast moving air,
but when it howls at your door, throwing branches and stones,

Can't you feel its anger?
How it is Fae, wanting to come in,
but only can it enter if invited. 

The world is so alive, dear.
You just have to look.

    the snow hanging in the trees
    the cold biting at you
    i love it

    fell in love with the sun, the sky-
    paid the price, i suppose.

    why do we always pay the price for love?

    Orpheus, lonesome poet, 
    lost his love because he wanted to tell her they'd made it.

    I hold it there, safe amidst pillows, blankets and childhood stuffed animals. 
    When I make things, I break off a piece of my heart, 
    and sew it into pillows,
