On the edge of abstract horizons, we teeter,
Beneath a maple's golden bough,
There we search for halcyon's soft spoken vows,
Wrapped in a veil of mystery, we dream sweetly,
Our hopes dwell in a fragile shell of time’s farewell.
In twilight's grasp, a fleeting spark ignites the shadows,
And the Maple leaves dance in autumn’s spell.
Veiled laughter resounds without, and
Nature glows, as distant calls of owls hoot a joyful, who?
Within the balance, beauty lies,
A world unseen through cautious eyes.
Veil of night, maple's embrace,
Teetering on dreams, we find our peace.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
