If only you could see the thoughts that dance around like ballerinas in the middle of war time
How gracefully they moved in the midst of chaos
I’ve always found it breath taking
Light as a feather
Heavy as metal
They never seemed to want to escape
And I never was the one to let them
How could I hold you at fault
When I forced you to find comfort in my thoughts
It seemed as if no matter how gracefully you moved
You could never avoid dodging bullets
Chaos flocks to you
Misery always finds its way to company
Even if I never asked for it
Oh but they danced together to my favorite melody of silence

The Noise
Boom! The sound echoed throughout my 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom studio apartment. It sounded as if a nuclear bomb had been let off. The entire building shook, a bright red light came from the sky then it everything went silent. Not a normal silence, but that eerie silence that you see in movies that make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. It didn’t last for any longer than a minute. I hopped out of my bed as quickly as possible and ran straight to the window. Everything outside looked normal. I scurried back into my bedroom , frantically searching for the remote so I could watch the news.

Stuck in Place
Amy whistled as she walked through her front yard, looking for any sticks she could pick up and throw into the pile she and her brother were making. They had a big windstorm recently; as such, all the trees in their yard had suffered some damage in some loss of sticks. Or perhaps losing those sticks was a good thing since their trees probably needed to be pruned anyway. Amy wasn't sure.
