And the Rain fallsBolting from the brushes the Creature moved black glistening claws extended tearing at the over growth of unlucky forest saplings of SuriGuard Forest- Black pupil-less eyes taking in the world in mounting fury- yet fear was there- a pain. The canine creature whirled around sniffing at the night air puffs of steam leaving it's nostrils as it tried to sniff out it's enemy- The Werewolf tried desperately to clear it's thoughts to a more logical level to out-smart this foe- but again and again the tormenting animalistic tendencies would take hold.

Low and ColdThe glacier is silent and stillIt forms slowlyLayer upon layerThe hardest ice is down lowSome ancient snowfall (buried like a memory)Of a winter that did not endA spring that never cameThe droplets that collect below the hard iceCold tears of a million captured momentsDance forever away from the glacial gripA timid waltzThat ends with them huddled togetherUnder the heavy darknessUnwilling to venture beyond the frozen shelterThat seeks aways to reclaim themFrom droplet to puddle, from puddle to poolTo a great shadowy lakeWhere the dark water swims with hungry ghostsBorn of a stormy pastThe glacier is silen

Desert Stone and Cactus Spinethe stones of this desert are made of wordsand every spine on any cactusis a painful pointbegging to be driven deep by a tense silenceThere was a desert where the sun stayed highEver blue as a heartbreak was that forever skyAbove the dust-devil washes where I ran as a childAmong the ripples of sand dunes that stretched out for milesI wandered alone and learned to be wildBack in those days, the stones used to flyAnd dodging and ducking, to throw back I'd tryBut their rain was so heavy, and it hurt when they hit!So I'd run to my sand dunes, and I'd curse stones a bitAnd I'd swear on my soul to someday make those stones
