:thumb188697972: What can I get you?She put her brave face on, as I stepped into her room. There was that fleeting pause between time alone and time with company. I had encroached on her time alone, and she wanted to look brave in front of me. I both admired and resented her for her casual slip into a false emotion. She was dying.
I wanted to ask, What can I get you? but my mouth couldn't find the words. My tongue dried up and my lips broke when I attempted an empathetic smile. I had more control than had previously been in my grasp before stepping into her room. She relied on me for all things vital in life. She needed me.
Could I bring her the world? In just a few short hours, could I bring her the scent of Vanilla musk weaving through the streets of Morocco? Would it be possible to capture the icy wind from the peak of Mount Everest and bring it into her room so that she could feel again? Fetching her a wish from the Lovers Bridge in Paris, or a gift to the parted from the Cross and Bones Graveyard in LightningLightning
As a boy he stared at thunderclouds
And walked out in the storm
He watched the arcing flashes
while the rest were inside warm
The dark skies stired and thundered
and he heard the thunder crash
He heard the heavens speaking
and he saw God's eyes flash
"Come in you fool!" they said to him
"Seek shelter from the rain!
For if the lightning touches you
you'll never wake again."
"You're wants are not like mine, my friends.
A home, a job, a wife...
To touch that spark of light divine
is all i want of life."
So every time a storm would brew
the man went out to stand.
He waited in the pouring rain
for the touch of Zeus's hand
One day a storm blew in to shame
even the fiercest of squall,
a maelstrom formed of legend,
and he heard its mystic call
He grabbed his bike to follow it
and chase his shining vision.
He'd chase the heavens till his dying breath.
His eyes shone with decision.
He rode through sheets of pouring rain
and suddenly, a flash!
He'd cought the spark of light divine
