..... My girl be going through some stuff and me trying something new

*“By fate’s design, the stars forever weave a story.”*

*“As they watch the world below.”*

*“I wish to ask if you are real,”*

*“That distant voice within my dreams.”*

*“A song that lights a gentle flame,”*

*“That gives me hope.”*

*“A reason to search,”*

*“A reason to find you.”*

In this land I call home,

I have not belonged.

Yet here I stay,

For by chance one night I had a dream,

And heard a voice.

So distant yet close.

Echoing within a song,

A lullaby, a wish.

Ringing so clear and pure,

Within my mind,

Within my heart.

It sparks a flame of hope,

A want to search.

For the song’s source,

It's voice.

In this land I call home,

I now wander.

Seeking, searching,

Yet still not belonging,

Still not wanted.

But still the song beckons me to search,

To wander this vast land.

Through endless fields of green,

Over mountains of white,

From forest old, to oceans of blue.

I shall continue to search,

For the song’s source,

It's voice.

Echoing within a song,

A lullaby, a wish.

Ringing so clear and pure,

Within my mind,

Within my heart.

Giving strength to the flame,

The hope I hold onto.

As the stars watch above,

And watch my story be told.

As it helps guides me through this land,

This land I wander,

Seeking, searching.

Till by chance one night I heard a voice,

So distant yet close.

So clear, so pure,

It felt like a dream.

Quick was the blade of silver,

Bathed in flames that burned away the monsters.

The creatures that clawed at the source,

My reason for coming so far.

There you were,

The voice that echoed within a song,

A lullaby, a wish.

That sparked a flame of hope,

A want to search.

For a place I would belong,

For you.

*“By fate’s design, the stars forever weave a story.”*

*“As they watch the world below.”*

*“I once wished to ask if you were real,”*

*“That distant voice within my dreams.”*

*“A song that lit a gentle flame,”*

*“That gave me hope.”*

*“A reason to find you.”*

*“And now here we are,”*

*“Two fates, two lives,”*

*“Brought together and intertwined.”*

*“Now and forever more.”*

(Old Description)

... I didn't have any better ideas for the title but this is my first go at drawing a mermaid and the only reason I did it so wasn't cause its May. LOL But cause I wanted to make something for the kids at my work again. I got the idea from the fish tanks they have and cause its nearly summer in good old MT. Though it doesn't feel like it yet. LOL Well enjoy!

Alone, I live on,

Among the memories,

Within the ruins of yesterday,

I continue on, despite the pain.

We once lived a blissful fragile life,

Despite the danger,

And knowing that in a blink of an eye,

Everything could change.

Since the moment we met,

This once pitiable girl,

A bystander to fate,

Became something more.

Within the colors,

The fragments of memory,

Are the pieces you all left behind,

The ones who gave me my wings.

Adorned in colors,

Painting the once lonely white,

In vibrant burning light.

I’ll defy fate,

And end this wretched story,

The way we’ve always wanted.

Even if we are just particles of stardust,

In time’s great expanse,

Within this vast, lonely universe.

Hold me tight,

Gently swaddle me in warm light,

Within the memories we share.

I’ll hold them close within my heart,

Just as you once did me.

Stars implode as they die,

A brief moment of blinding light,

As they scatter life-giving dust.

Just as oceans become deserts,

And streams become rivers.

Life continues on.

Alone,

Among the memories,

Within the ruins of yesterday,

I continue on, despite the loneliness and pain.

I’ll tear down this broken system,

This flawed, sad future,

For the dream and the peace we once fought for.

I’ll defy fate,

And end this wretched story,

The way we’ve always wanted.

Petals scatter,

As seeds fall and bloom again,

Even as the world is scarred by war.

Since the moment we met,

This once pitiable girl,

A bystander to fate,

Became something more.

Within the colors,

The fragments of memory,

Are the pieces you all left behind,

The ones who gave me my wings.

Adorned in colors,

Painting the once lonely white,

In vibrant burning light.

A star, an angel was born.

Because of all of you,

The ones I hold dear to my heart.

Alone I may lose my way,

But your light still guides me home,

And into the light.

We once lived a blissful fragile life,

Despite the danger,

And knowing that in a blink of an eye,

Everything could change.

Yet, we still loved this broken world.

I still love this broken world.

As the years,

The centuries pass by,

I’ll continue on.

Even if we are just particles of stardust,

In time’s great expanse,

Within this vast, lonely universe.

Hold me tight,

Gently swaddle me in warm light,

Within the memories we share.

I’ll hold them close within my heart,

Just as you once did me,

Even as we said farewell.

Alone, I live on,

Among the memories,

Within the ruins of yesterday,

I continue on, despite all the pain I bear.

Since the moment we met,

This once pitiable girl,

A bystander to fate,

Became something more.

Within the colors,

The fragments of memory,

Are the pieces you all left behind,

The ones who gave me my wings.

A star, an angel was born.

Because of all of you,

The ones I hold dear to my heart.

Adorned in colors,

Painting the once lonely white,

In vibrant burning light.

I’ll defy fate,

And end this wretched story,

The way we’ve always wanted.

Even though you’re all gone,

Despite your deaths.

You are all still here,

My lights,

My guiding stars.

As the years,

The centuries pass by,

I’ll continue on.

Even if we are just particles of stardust,

A faint memory,

In time’s great expanse,

Within this vast, lonely universe.

We once called this earth home,

This beautifully flawed, broken world,

This earth you loved,

Is the place you all left behind.

Though alone, I’ll live on,

Among the memories,

Within the ruins of yesterday,

Despite my broken heart,

I’ll live on for you.

For this world,

I’ll become its guardian angel,

It’s guiding light, a star.

For all of you,

For me,

I’ll continue to live;

"May all the beauty in the world be blessed."

Folded paper,

Winter nights,

The quiet only silenced by cracking embers,

Bits of stardust glowing in the dark.

Ink stains and dried paint,

Crystals dangling from simple threads,

Grey dust sprinkles the dark void,

A reflection upon calm waves.

Scattered like petals,

Parts litter an old workshop,

Tools hang upon worn wood,

Scarred by use, a record of another time.

Folded paper,

A piece of the sky,

Stained and worn,

Yet just as bright.

Crackling embers, dangling crystals,

Light reflects upon white silver snow,

Like moon dust beneath the sun.

The smell of oil and paint are a memory,

The scent of wood and water a calming thought,

The quiet sounds, a soft song.

The cold is far away,

The void beyond my reach.

Ink stains and dried paint,

Scattered like petals,

Tools hang upon worn wood,

Crystals dangling from simple threads,

A record of another time, a dream.

Words are silent,

Words are powerful,

The folds hold them back.

Grey dust sprinkles the dark void,

The moon’s reflection upon calm waves.

Folded paper,

Winter nights,

A piece of the sky,

Stained and worn,

Yet just as bright.

Memory and dreams,

Thoughts and emotions,

Loud yet silent,

The quiet only silenced by cracking embers,

Bits of stardust glowing in the dark.

Crystals dangle from simple threads,

Worn and used,

They dance in the memory-filled air.

Light reflects upon white silver snow,

Like moon dust beneath the sun.

The smell of oil and paint are a memory,

The scent of wood and water an emotion,

The quiet sounds, a gentle song,

A record of another time, a dream.

Winter nights,

The quiet only silenced by cracking embers,

Bits of stardust glowing in the dark.

Ink stains and dried paint,

A piece of the sky,

Stained and worn,

Yet just as bright.

Scattered like petals,

Parts litter an old workshop,

Crackling embers, dangling crystals,

The cold is far away,

The void beyond my reach.

Memory and dreams,

Thoughts and emotions,

Loud yet silent,

Powerful yet gentle,

It's all a dream,

All a memory,

The folds hold them back,

Till they’re unfurled,

As ink upon folded paper;

Some art I made for June

Burn it all away,

Let it turn to ash.

This heart you broke,

My trust which you betrayed.

You don’t deserve my sympathy,

My once tender mercy.

For you’re the one who ignited the flame,

Don’t blame me,

For I was just the kindling.

You say you were under my spell,

To hide the love you had for me.

Love for a witch, an outcast.

Oh, how wonderful it all was,

The lie you gave me,

The beautiful days that are now gone.

All because of your shame,

Your hatred for unnatural things,

For who and what I am.

Burn it all away,

Let it turn to ash.

All the lies,

All those once tender words.

I hate it all,

Take it all away,

Everything we had.

For it all means nothing now,

Including you.

This day you ignited the flame,

I was just the kindling.

So don’t blame me,

For the fire that consumes everything.

All I needed to say was spell,

All I could have done was cast the magic.

But you don’t deserve my thoughts,

My tender mercy.

I hate you,

You hate me.

I don’t care anymore,

For you broke my heart.

Never betray a witch,

An unnatural creature.

Its all your fault,

Its all because of you.

Don’t try to smile,

Or speak those once tender words.

Burn in the flames,

Turn to ash,

Become nothing,

For your now the kindling,

A stain of red upon black.

Burn it all away,

Let it turn to ash.

Everything you are,

Everything we had,

Everything that was me;

Bitter and sweet words stain my lips,

Silent screams tear at my rusted voice,

Set to implode.

Rage burns, and sorrow freezes,

Breaking my already fractured heart,

Leaving me numb to everything.

Let me yell out,

Let me become a raging dragon of destruction,

To shatter the false mask of joy and calm.

I don’t care what you think,

Let me scream out how much I hate this disgusting world!

I want to lash out and cast my curses on the world,

On every little thing that would take away my perfect world.

Complain and curse all you want,

I’ll become the blight that breaks the chains,

And brings this world to ruin and rebirth.

Bitter and sweet words stain my lips,

Silent screams tear at my rusted voice,

Set to implode.

Rage burns, and sorrow freezes,

Breaking my already fractured heart,

Leaving me numb to everything.

Let me scream,

Let me yell out my anger at these so-called gods!

I’ll become the one to decide who stays and goes,

And I’ll bring back the ones taken too soon,

Give them back to me.

Let me yell out,

Let me become a raging dragon of destruction,

To shatter the false mask of joy and calm.

I don’t care what you think,

Let me scream out how much I hate this disgusting world!

Have everything burn in fire and become dust,

And everything sink into the depths of the sea.

I hate it all, so let’s start over,

Give me the world I so desire,

Give back what you stole from me.

Let blood flow red,

Let tears flow silver,

Become kindling for my flames.

Bitter and sweet words stain my lips,

Silent screams tear at my rusted voice,

Set to implode.

I’m getting tired of all this,

I’m sick of being kind.

Let me yell out,

Let me become a raging dragon of destruction,

To shatter the false mask of joy and calm.

I don’t care what you think,

Let me scream out how much I hate this disgusting world!

I want to lash out and cast my curses on the world,

On every little thing that would take away my perfect world.

I’ll become the one to decide who stays and goes,

And I’ll bring back the ones taken too soon,

Give them back to me,

I want it all back!

I don’t care anymore,

I don’t want to care anymore!

Have everything burn in fire and become dust,

And everything sink into the depths of the sea.

I hate it all, so let’s start over,

I’ll become the blight that breaks the chains,

And brings this world to ruin and rebirth.

Just give me the world I so desire,

Give back what you stole from me!

Is that too much to ask?!

Bitter and sweet words stain my lips,

I’ll let it all go and become a raging dragon god of destruction.

Silent screams tear at my rusted voice,

Ready to implode and start the macabre dance.

Let me yell out,

Let me scream out how much I hate this disgusting world!

Let blood flow red,

Let tears flow silver,

Feel my burning rage!

Fear the freezing sorrow!

Give back what I desire,

And hear me scream out my song of ruin!

Caught in twilight,

I’m lost within my cage,

Yet free to grow,

To bloom.

Can you hear me?

Do you see me?

I’m here,

A memory of the past,

Reborn in the future,

Enduring in the present.

Even as stars implode and fade,

I burn brightly with solar light,

Even as my shadow grows cold.

Wounds brand my skin,

Scars sear my broken heart,

Yet I endure,

I remain.

Can you hear me?

Do you see me?

I’m here,

Standing in the twilight.

Lost within my cage,

Yet free to bloom,

To cry out.

For what reason do I exist?

I’m a star dancing on the horizon’s edge,

Fighting to exist,

To protect something,

But is that who I am?

Trapped in twilight,

I’m lost within my cage,

Yet free to bloom,

To exist.

Can you hear me?

Do you see me?

I’m here,

A memory of the past,

Reborn in the future,

Enduring in the present.

Death is far behind,

Till I kill my light,

And slay my darkness,

I’ll merely endure.

Even as stars implode and fade,

I burn brightly with solar light,

Even as my shadow grows cold.

Can you hear me?

Do you see me?

I’m here,

Existing in the twilight.

I’m lost within my cage,

Yet free to bloom,

To cry out.

Who am I?

Caught in the twilight,

I’m lost within my cage.

Can you hear me?

Do you see me?

I’m here,

I’m right here.

I’m a star dancing on the horizon’s edge,

I burn brightly with solar light,

Even as my shadow grows cold,

I fight to exist,

To protect something,

But is that who I am?

Wounds brand my skin,

Scars sear my broken heart,

Yet I endure,

I remain.

Lost,

Trapped,

I’m alone and afraid.

Stars burn,

Dwarfs glow,

Imploding and fading,

It's never-ending.

Can you hear me?

Do you see me?

I’m here,

I’m right here,

A memory,

Existing,

Alone,

Blooming,

Fighting,

Enduring,

I’m right here,

I’m here,

Forever caught in twilight;

*"Naä’lé Thä'teé Ludrayna Sá'zeë La Feé'ki Üu'kashi Ií'e. A'fiinás Ií’äa Tüi'thä Úr'zerron Éz'lúuth Ag'naä Tüi'thä Eterrin Sie'kathaä. Ií’äa Thä'teé Éz'úrzen."*

Entangled by the nettle,

Silenced by the knife.

The cards fall scattered and reversed,

As it all comes crumbling down.

Beware the hemlock,

Don’t pluck the red poppies of endless sleep.

The fey folk warn of the dark,

The neighbors that seek your death.

The runes speak,

The knots intertwine,

Head their call.

The candle burns an eerie glow,

As the cauldron bubbles and boils the witch’s brew,

The old gods ask for eternal vows.

Take a branch of the yew,

Wrap it with hawthorn,

And carve into it charms of protection,

For the banshee warns of a coming death.

Entangled by the nettle,

Silenced by the knife.

The cards fall scattered and reversed,

As it all comes crumbling down.

The bones disperse and dissolve into ash,

As the gods of life and death continue their eternal dance.

Lost in the dreams,

Caught in the weave of magic,

The magic of the fey lures you to your death.

Don’t consume the tea of nightshade,

Don’t break the circle.

The house of Baba Yaga is moving,

As the Dullahan rides off into the night.

The pages fade,

As the promise is broken.

The runes speak,

The knots intertwine,

Don’t ignore the gods,

Head their call.

An endless cycle continues on,

A never-ending spell.

The dragons of fire and water,

Bring forth truth, wealth, and caution.

The druids practice,

The shamans speak,

The witches brew,

The sorceress weave,

The bards enthrall.

Entangled by the nettle,

Silenced by the knife.

The cards fall scattered and reversed,

As it all comes crumbling down.

Beware the hemlock,

Don’t pluck the red poppies of endless sleep.

The fey folk warn of the dark,

The neighbors that seek your death,

For the hunter of fear and hatred comes.

Consume the fireweed,

Take a branch of yew and birch,

Sing a song of parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme.

Bless the sword of gold and iron,

Bejeweled with lapis lazuli and moonstone,

With diamonds born from fire.

Entangled by the nettle,

Silenced by the knife.

The cards fall scattered and reversed,

As it all comes crumbling down.

The bones disperse and dissolve into ash,

The runes speak,

The knots intertwine,

Don’t ignore the gods,

Head their call,

For the spirits walk among us;

Fire red, burns all to ash.

The red of blood, an omen of sorrow and hate.

A sunset of red, enchants all who gaze upon it.

The red of joy, reminds those of days long past.

Beautiful red, a flower that may have thorns.

Red, a flame.

Destruction or renewal.

Warmth or cruel reality.

Filled with hate and sorrow, it burns.

All in its path, and turns it into ash.

Filled with love and joy, it heals.

Renews the old or a gift of the heart.

Burning red, a curse, a blessing.

A sad repeating history, a stain of cruel hands.

A heart filled with love, a light in the darkness.

Fire red, an eternal flame.

Of sorrow and hate.

Of joy and love.

Burning red of fire, may burn all.

Yet the ash, renews all.

A light that burns, in the cold dark sky.

Fire red, burns all.

An eternal flame, that forever shines.

All to ash, it will return.

Fire red, burn all;
