A tiny beacon
Floats through the air Pulsing Singing without sound I am here I am not afraid I want to be found An inadequate ode to a lightning bug -Atlas

The sound of thunder shakes the earth.
I feel it in my chest Distantly Like nothing is ever going to be the same Again Guess what the weather is right now -Atlas "It's kill or be killed," you said.
I shook my head. "Only if you want it to be." Is this poetry? Is this prose? It's not much of anything but it's still SOMETHING, I guess. -Atlas It took a thousand paper cranes
And a lifetime of waiting But eventually Slowly I realized what my wish really was Not a great poem (but not my worst either) -Atlas At first,
Trust is a free fall Wondering "Is this it? Have I pushed things too far?" But somehow It becomes an extension of being A lack of picking through words Like a minefield Until the only difference Between how you act when you're alone And when you're with them Is that you're with them It's not perfect but it sort of does feel like a poem -Atlas "Shh," the world says
quiet as a butterfly's wing "She is sleeping for now but soon will wake and on that day nothing will ever be the same." This is not a good poem. But it is a poem (I think) so at least there's that -Atlas A man walked down a path
With no return Behind him, strings of light pulled Whispering (Come back, come back) But the man's heart was set And rather than pulling th light down his path as well He drew his blade And cut all ties to the light. The man walked away alone And he would have called himself free Were it not for the unshakable truth That dripped from his blade And stained his footsteps: light bleeds. Another not-so-great poem but it's different than the usual so at least there's that -Atlas I am tired of reading
The same poems With different words. It's time To tell a different story. Not really much of a poem but hey who cares -Atlas If I had to describe you,
I would say that your kindness was almost infinite. The key word here (the human word) Being "almost". Ho hum -Atlas What's in a name?
A name is a tab, A folder, A program. It is a command An expectation And a promise. Kind of cliche but it's a poem so -Atlas |
