Nineteen Years

A Poetry That Cannot Hold You

Envy and the Dancer in the Rain

Call me Envy
because I want to be
the dancer in the rain,

who isn’t bothered
by soaked through shoes or
water droplets in her eyes.

When the sky
shakes and scares delicate things
away, she remains, dancing like

she has never
known fear or worry. Someday,
maybe when I’m older, bolder

I’ll join her
beneath the roaring thunder and
unwind the ribbon that holds

me together so
I can move without
feeling like a stranger in

my own body.

Part One – Sister with the Eyes of Stone

“They must burn the Valley,” the queen decided, turning to face Viori. “It’s the only way the druid will understand their pain.”

Mimurda whispered toward Viori in a tongue that was deep, eerie, and almost as old as Miravale herself.

They had grown weary of the darkness, hiding from a world that would always try to put them away. The villagers would flee. The Valley would burn. Heroes would try to hunt them, but this time, with the help of the dragons, they would stake their claim, finally begin their rightful reign.

Part Three – Guardian of the Wingless

Part Four – King with the Scales of Amber

Part Five – Stone Grown Secrets
