I put your stuffed animals above the doors
And in all the funny places I could think of
I put one in the sink;
with another offering soap
I put one on the toilet;
reading your favorite book
I placed a stuffy on the ceiling;
upside down with tape
I put a few more around the fireplace
just the penguins and a bear
Im excited for when you see it
all the things they got up too
It must be amazing
To see just what stuffed animals can do
One of my favorite things I used to do was take all my kids stuffed animals and put them all over the place. It was after toy story had come out so the kids were primed for thinking that all these animals and stuffies were alive.
Lightning sprawls across a dark canvas
Stretching, arching, bending down
Soundless, lurching faster
The air excited, the wind motionless
The old man sits in his chair as the light hits
A smile crosses his face
We had a really amazing lightning show last night. The sky looked especially aggressive. Considering how little rain that has visited it was great feeling the rain with a big band backing it up.
Looking back, those lost summer days..
You woke me up with a punch and laughed
We stole ourselves to the cliffs, into its secret places
Delved for treasures in the sandy cove
We laughed into the sunrise
Sun burnt and tired
Grace I will never forget
My cousin died last week and although she was a hard drug user for part of her life she had been clean for a few years. She was found in a cemetery, with nothing but her license, alone.
I hadn't reached out to her, because I didn't know her anymore. All I had to do was accept her as a friend on facebook and I couldn't even do that.
