Learned

Fighting my great master was something I never thought I would have to do. Our swords sang to each other, as we danced a deadly waltz, While we stepped to the beat of an unheard melody time stood still as if waiting to see who would stand victorious. I knew it wouldn't be me. I simply hadn't trained long enough; hard enough to beat him.
Blow after blow screamed pain down my arms and chest as my master struck me repeatedly. One quick hit to my stomach with the flat of his blade, and I was on my back looking up at the point of his sword.
"Now." My master held a hand out to me, and helped me to my feet. "Go clean yourself up, and remember what you learned."

Redux

Blessed is the dawn you were pressed into this earth.
Blithe sunlight shines on your first day of existence.
Joyous wishes beloved Anthony.
Cheerful tidings on the anniversary of your birth.

Yoda

I've used all the words I have.
Said all I can say.
The harder I try to speak;
the more the words stick in my throat.
Trying is not doing;
Yoda was right.

Purple

I felt a heaviness on my chest, and opened my eyes to see a pair of violet eyes staring back at me. I felt my heart skip a beat, and I stared back at the indigo skinned creature. It squatted on my chest, spindly arms resting on its knees.

"What do you want." I whispered. 

It cocked it's head to the left, continuing to study me from inches away.

I repeated my question. 

It remained silent.

"Get off me."

It slowly shook its head at me.

"Why not?"

It cocked its head to the right, and raised an eyebrow at me.

Because I have something to show you.

My eyes widened. "Something to show me? What?"

It carefully lifted one arm, and laid its middle finger in the center of my forehead.

Behold your future. The universe is calling you, and you ignore it. No longer can you deny your destiny. You must embrace your fate with open arms or we will perish.

I sat up gasping. Had that been a dream? A vision? Shaking my head, I got up, and headed to the bathroom to spash some water on my face. I flick on the light, and looked at my face in the mirror. My breath caught in my throat. In my reflection I saw a purple mark on my forehead.

Shining Eyes

The sound of your voice moves me.
My heart beats to the rhythm of yours.
We breathe in sync.

It's all in my mind.
I'm trying too hard to hold you close.
I need my space.
You need yours.

Time is my enemy, but then so are you.
Patience isn't the virtue I thought it would be.

I miss your shining eyes.
I miss mine.

Come at me Bro

I'd been listening to the same song for hours now. I heard it on the radio, and though I really enjoyed it, I've continued to enjoy it repeatedly since then. Somehow the song spoke to me, and though my husband glared at me with eyes that could kill a buffalo at three hundred yards, I stared him down as I click the play button once more. Come at me Bro.

Alphabet Games

Look there's an "A" in the water.
What happened to the rest of the alphabet?
I think they drowned.
Nah. The "B" must have been eaten by the "C".

I think "I" have to "P".
That's further down the alphabet...
It was all that "T".
"Y" "R" "U" laughing?
Because all these "M" "N" M s gave me a sugar high.
"W" "E" E E E E E E!
I can't believe this all started because we saw some sticks poking out of the river......
