Chasing Clouds
Life’s Illusions
*
When the quiet gets loud
And sleep is evasive
I go out chasing clouds
Where the words will be waiting
Lets look death in the eye
I murmur through a sigh
And the dreams in my mind
Spark the secrets I hide
Away on the breeze
Not a care in the world
Like the leaves on the trees
A million colors unfurl
Swirling around in the sky
On the verge of forever
Leaving me tongue tied
On my sleepless endeavor
To discover that place
With life’s illusions uncovered
At the end of the race
Where peace of mind is discovered

The Gilded Cage and the Cobblestone King
The city of Oakhaven was divided by more than just a river; it was split by the cruel, invisible line of inheritance. On the East Bank sat the Vanderbilt Estate, a place of manicured marble and suffocating silence. This was the world of Isabella, a girl whose beauty was whispered about in ballrooms like a rare, fragile currency.

Really fine piece; I feel you growing stronger!
Gorgeously done, Kelli! I loved the colorful imagery, just beautiful
Good work and what a way to listen to yourself to accomplish what one may be working on.
