Ode

"WEALTH AND DEATH AND PEOPLE". Content Warning.
I write this prose to share my story. However, it is a story of many of our elders in 2024. We should respect all people, not just the rich or powerful.

My Villainous Hero
The voice, James Earl Jones oh my villainous hero, the force be with you * Thanks for reading! R.I.P. James Earl Jones who died September 9, 2024, at 93 years old. That voice was such an iconic part of my childhood, as it was for many others, as Darth Vader in the Star Wars films and universe, and then as Musafa in The Lion King.

Winged a Red Delight
Juicy red delight Sweetness bursts in every bite Strawberry delight With the setting sun my sugar craving peaked. Putting the book aside I headed to the kitchen. Rummaging the fridge I decided to wing it. A box of strawberries, a jar of sugar, a bottle of lemon essence, a pack of gelatin and whipped cream was what I choosed to create this sweet concoction.

The thief of unseen hours
In the shadowed chambers of the mind, there lurks a silent thief, Its fingers slender and unseen, tracing the edges of a future unformed.

Dearest Life
Dearest Life, As dusk wraps its gentle arms around the day, I sit in the echoing stillness of this room, Eyes drifting over the horizon where my children carve their paths, distant and untroubled.

A Symphony of Silence
Quiet down, everyone! I am about to take you on a poetic journey. "SILENCE" Softly, it creeps in, like a ninja in slippers, Invading conversations, like a cat in a hat, Lurking in awkward moments, not one for the givers, Enveloping us all—a tranquil diplomat.

Hero
Get safe. I’ll meet you at the bottom of the stairwell. Last words spoken right before a brave farewell. Everyday the people who serve the land save a life.
