GI100 Book #2...random attempts at poetry.

A second attempt at "Give It 100!" Open in new Window., since the first one ("100" Open in new Window.) turned out pretty well even though I didn't complete it within 100 days.

The tone of your voice
says something's wrong,
and you haven't even spoken yet.
It's as if a lifted curse
is about to resettle
and blow out a candle.
Let's promise not to look around,
wondering who might be next,
and only take minutes to grieve
before giving in to
nuanced celebrations:
a life was muted, but
we weren't, so respect.
Maybe we can push it
farther up the horizon;
we know it's coming but
it doesn't have to be today.

She finally sighed softly in her sleep,
sleeping away soft sighs as she went
along with a narrative that lined the clouds
animating how alone she felt.
It was only there that she would see
her world as it really was;
knowledge wasn't a choice so much
as it became a way of life.
The final realization she'd wake to learn
was learning becoming her finality.
