Terminal Velocity

We have reached our
Terminal velocity,
I jumped, you flew,
No more I can do
Except keep falling;
Time to wait,
As the world
Rushes closer,
Will the parachutes
Ever open?
Where will
We land when
It's all over?
Will we be together
When we've recovered
From the head-rush,
The pull-push
Of gravity,
Of our terminal velocity?

Jack, do you want to know a secret?

Jack, do you want to know. Do you want to know a secret. A secret told by a little boy. A little boy called Life, sitting. Sitting in a field I know, sleeping. Sleeping in a wild flower meadow.

The finer components of eloquence have always eluded me,. And laughably so as I soon came to see,. And never yet have I managed to hold in my hand, a beautiful sunbeam or a fine grain of sand,.

Cloud

I'm not the cloud with the silver lining. I'm not the cloud that's loved by sun. I'm the cloud that's there at night. I'm the cloud that's purpose is done. I'm not the cloud that gives you shade.

Lost

Drizzles of Fireflies surround The distant Crystal sphere. Frosty blaze Endeavors Against misty Shadows, as if To illuminate the Dimness within, Yet it fails.
