When Inspired/Rhymish the Rhyming Sparkle

{since Mom wanted it.}

When Inspired

When one is sung to faintly, softly from
Behind the mind, a wordless echo gleams
It's called Inspired, shining, write me down
And so I will a thousand times again
Inspired, you inspire phrases, songs
Melodious souls do not go unsung
You inspire flowers blooming endless
You inspire clouds that, weightless, follow
The wind, unnoticed, unlike you, so seen
By heaven's stars, inspired to trace their dreams
Behold this dream, you are inspiration.


{DEDICATED IN LOVING LOVE TO MY RHYMISH TRIPLET FRIEND}

Rhymish the Rhyming Sparkle

Why, my Rhymish, must you be so shiny?
Call that boy what silly names you Will, but
I am certain you are far more sparkly.
He's just some guy with a cute sister.
Sarah fails to rhyme with you and I, but
She is still a rhymish faker sometimes.
Rhymish, when you are a fairy princess,
Since that is what all Rhymishesturn in to,
I will make sure you are always wearing
The prettiest, shiniest, sparkliest fairy princess tiara that ever lived,
Plus some chocolate cake just for good measure.

Muted

The frost-muted grass surrounds them
I swear, there were leaves there yesterday
The branches are dropping their burdens
And harsh breezes take them away

The cloud-muted sky stays gone longer
Lingering on the other side
And the wind runs freely and heartlessly
Becoming less hesitant a night at a time

Muted, I suffer from nothing to say
Faded, I'm threadbare, but dying this way
Wordless, I'm helpless with all the world freezing
Run down and shut out and wishing you'd hear me

Words are all muted inside me
Held back by the autumn chill
Don't betray me to loneliness
Like the trees betrayed the fallen leaves
