Make It Rain-Grim Reaper Artwork and a Fairies Illustrations

I hear the ground

those before me

I am humbled.

I hear their voices

they speak of lost days

so why

do I...

lose them?

I want to feel passion

I want to make it rain

yet I am almost sick of the word.

it is not enough

words not met by deeds.

Pictures cut out from magazines

pasted on the floor

I want to walk in their gardens.

I stroke my own hair

hear me breathing

I am not sure it is really me

and yet

I am a fantasy fairy in a snow filled jar.

A bench sits in the middle of the ocean

my brush is filled with aqua.

I remove tight fitting muzzles

lest bright colors fly away.

I always seem to miss the signs

and yet

I will try to spy them now

lest I die.

One cannot control adventures

nor define them

but I will try none the less.

I count the days

grim reaper

but I am not sure why

maybe because

I count my paintings.

I hear the breaths of tombs.

They did not know their shadow

before their passing.

And ohhh...

I hear their complaints

making rain

I guess I am one.

I sing in harmony.

How many failures can one accept

and still be noticed?

Let me climb from this jar

let me taste the stamen of a flower

touch my tongue on a tiny miracle

stave off honey bees

stand firm

this story is meant for me.

Pleasantries are gone in winter

it feels too cold for smiles.

I will seclude myself

till the snow is past

and no longer floating free

in unopened jars full of water

filled to the brim with wishes

for fantasy fairies like me.

I am a tear

yet I have added a second blanket

and should be fine.

Voices

everywhere

I stop

I hear...

grim reaper illustrations

calling out for drops of water.

And ever so timely

bringing umbrellas to cover

voices from the ground.
