No Kills Today

All the critters stayed alive today! :-D I think they were traumatized by the bird incident the other day too. One lizard thought it would slip by the ever vigilant Shanni. He thought wrong and paid for his mistake with his life. *nods* Lucky for him we're a little more watchful right now. He was released back into the wilds beyond the fence with no rehabilitation. LOL Speaking of release, we've still not caught that darn lizard in the house! Argh!!! He's one sneaky little devil. He is refusing to come out when someone besides me is up. It's as if he knows I'm not quick enough to catch him, so he waits till the Great Lizard Catcher aka Hanyuu is in bed before he pokes his head out. Then he hangs around on the wall thumbing his nose at me saying nah nah, come and get me! Well, I'm sure that's what he would be saying if he could talk. I'm glad he can't or I think I'd just freak out at first. Then I'm sure I'd begin trying to devise ways to capture him and go on tour making millions of dollars and live the rest of my life in style! Hmmm....*shakes myself back to reality* It'll never happen so guess I'll just come back to earth now.

I thought tonight I'd post one of the poems I've written. Ummm...excuse me a minute. *looks down at leg and snarls at it. Would you quit it already! Geez...trying to write here.* Sorry about that....the little elves running around my body were acting up again. They are so annoying! Just when I think I've rid myself of them, they're back. *rolls eyes* The little buggers aren't just any elves either....they're fire bugs! *gasp* Yep...they run around with blow torches from head to toe igniting big bonfires. I call the elf exterminators but just a couple of days later they're back again.

Back to the subject. I'll post a poem I wrote, hope you like it! :-D

Angel's Embrace

She opens her tear-filled eyes,
to be greeted by a wondorous sight,
so breath-taking to behold.
He floats toward her on a cloud,
his downy wings spread.
A radiant light surrounds him,
and does not blind her.
He kneels beside her and takes her hand,
his so soft, hers so rough.
He does not speak,
just looks into her eyes and
without words gives hope.
Her soul is soothed by his presence,
as he wraps his wings around her,
dries her tears, mends her broken heart.
With a soft embrace,
a gentle touch upon her cheek.
She knows the secret
of an angel's embrace.
