"In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility." ~Eleanor Roosevelt


Light paws patter the floor
Click clack goes the tiny black claws
On the universal train track

The smooth black ocean of
Forever going love on his slim body
Flowing off filling the air
Like a hot-air balloon

Black eyes stare you down
With clumsy movements
A doe taking her first steps

Ears flop around
Too large to fit his face properly
Like Dumbo
But a different version

To challenging to really explain
The exact design of such
Creature
With such delicate details

To much to contain in words
Words with no meaning to most
Words with meaning to some
Like the Iliad in a single word
