Shooting Stars

The moon guides it across the sky white light in soft flashes go unnoticed look up to observe the pink blankets in the twilight look and breathe in sounds of crickets shouting at the navy blue. 'Bring back the sun,' they say. The star comes only once, that is all the moon will send.

Men That Conquered the World

Their swords were born of the flesh and armour the patience and resilience of thousand storms; brought knives made of fired clay for others to fight but they were not understood. Their mouths spat madness and wisdom their thoughts enemies and their children the unity of fear and acceptance. They dropped their swords and rested drank from cupped hands and washed their faces with mud. People thought they were done so they took their weapons and ran. another war to win, these men, behind closed eyes a victory unbeknown to man tears of joy and tears of confusion. They look weak and dry but their eyes are flaming. Ask a wise man what they did and he will say they did not place a finger on the world nor did it run from them, the world was not worth their time, they fought battles in their minds. If you enter a house to burn it down you will burn with it, become part of the world, then the world has conquered you.
