I sit up in a willow tree
while gathering the words
for just the song, a calming song,
to sing among the birds.
The birds deserve much more than this
The world harbors them too.
And yet we take what is not ours
And what are they to do?
We treat them like they really are
Something lesser than us.
They live, they breathe, they have a heart.
They have learned to trust.
But look at what's become of this,
The birds cower in fear.
As does almost any animal,
When humans wander near.
We've set a harmful tone for life
We've put it in a box.
But life, sir, has no wooden walls,
Only small chains and locks.
Eventually, we'll b
I had walked astray, following a new lead.
My road in life twisted and turned. Sharp as a knife, the turns left gashes in my story. I could never focus on the forever because I was too occupied with the right now. I took everything for granted and left nothing up to fate.
Want a little background? I was 23. My name is not relevant. My family was not very close at any point in time. I was not on very good terms with my father. We also had not spoken in months because of an argument over his drinking problems. Even though we were arguing now, we weren't exactly "best-friends" before.
It was sudden in my life, so that is exactly how I'll lea
Well, I think that I've done pretty well so far this year with my New Year's resolution. I've only missed a few very days of taking a photograph. Hopefully once it is spring and not freezing cold outside, I can take some photos of things other than Achilles. I can't help it though- he's the best thing ever and always doing something that I want to capture forever! At any rate, this month I am working a LOT so be prepared for photos of produce and other organic things. :)
Well, not really away, but not here on deviantART at least. So- this year I decided to do a challenge of taking one photograph every day. This is going to be pretty hard for me because I tend to go through creative spurts and then not pick up my camera or a pencil for days, weeks, or even longer. Hopefully this will keep art-related things in my life on a more day-to-day basis... the way it should be. :) At any rate- I'm also doing this to sort of commemorate my year... so I'm trying to make the photos reflect each day. I've never been strong on composition anyway, but don't expect much haha.
More like... 7 or 8 months. I've been so busy I haven't had time to take photos... at least, not to focus on trying to get any that are good enough to put on here. I did go through the past few month's worth of folders and chose a few to edit and post anyway, but apparently DeviantArt wants to be doing maintenance every time I go to upload one of them.
But anyway... update on my life: Achilles is 14 months old now... he officially outweighs me. :) Cody and I JUST moved into a bigger apartment, it's awesome. Deployment Number Two is coming up way too fast for my liking, but we've been having a blast and I'm sure the good times will continue r
