To The Girl, I Knew Before
Created By C.M Wilson
To the girl, I knew before
The one who had been called a whore
The one who refused to 'stay in her place'
The one who kept close ones in their embrace.
Strength comes in more the one shade.
It is so much more than starting a crusade.
Getting up, every day
while keeping the world less mundane.
Finding happiness in the small
is the greatest strength of all.
Thank you, Girl
you are as precious as a pearl,
glistening and shining in the night
teaching the even fearful how to take flight.

Feathers
Words are like feathers, tickling at the senses. A single feather can be beautiful, but when you have many feathers connected, it becomes gorgeous. It becomes a life changing story that imprints itself upon your inner person. Stories inspire, critique, alter and save lives. Finding the perfect mix of feathers to string together into a story has always been my dream. Exploring each feather is an art within itself. The English dictionary has 273,000 words in it. It seems like I would have so many feathers to explore, but instead I am at a loss for words. I lack the ability to connect my feathers beyond a kindergarten art project.
