The Weary Knight

The Weary Knight

The knight has fought his wars

Slain his dragons

Served his king

He fights on with a hope

A hope that one day he may find his princess

The knight has searched far and wide

But no where has he found his princess

He has looked in towns and cities

He has looked in farms and fields

But nowhere is his princess to be found

The knight grows weary of searching 

He gives up the hopeless chase

He returns his attention to his life

and forgets his dreams

The knight begins his travels alone

It is the lonely roads he seeks out

Along the way he finds a tower

Something at the top catches his eye

He notices what he has long searched for

His princess....

The knight feels hope return to him

Dreams of his princess fill his mind

He casts a rope to the top

and begins the climb

The knight climbs higher and higher
 Slipping now and then 

 he continues upward

The top is in sight

He knows his princess is close

The knight is inches away

His princess is within reach

 Stretching out his arm

He is ready to fulfill his dream

His heart is filled with happiness and love

Then ...the rope breaks

The knight falls from the tower

His descent seems to be slow

He looks up as he sees his princess

His princess is fading from sight

He wants to stop 

He wants to stay

But he cannot

The knight hits the ground

He feels pain all over

He does not want to move

He lays there.... defeated

The princess is no longer in sight

His dream has fallen out of reach again
What he most desires will not be his

With a heavy heart he departs

As the knight walks away from the tower

he looks back... vowing to return

It will not be today

It may not be tomorrow

But one day

One day

The knight will have his princess

Frost Bitten

Frost Bitten

by Sierra Elsmore

I know, life it happens
but that doesnt mean
that I don't think of you
when?where?
All the time, anywhere
why?
Isn't it obvious
your my future
the iceberg of my life

You may not know it but
there was a moment when,
I felt we were alone
on that iceberg
floating, just drifting

I guess I stood there too long
cause you've given me chills
I'm so cold
There's no protection My focus is on you
your perfection
Come shine your warm light
on this cold frost bite

I'm Frost Bitten

You changed my whole life
I'm feeling this frost bite
But you'll never come to me
look at what lovin you has done to me
I'm slowly slipping off this iceberg

No one could be perfect
but your pretty close
I've never met
anyone like you
While I stand alone
on this broken ice

I guess I stood there too long
cause you've given me chills
I'm so cold
There's no protection
My focus is on you
your perfection
Come shine your warm light
on this cold frost bite

I'm Frost Bitten

Frost bite
I'm frost bitten

How To Make An Origami Chinese Lucky Star

Chinese Lucky Stars:

1. Start out with a strip of paper, 11" X 1/2"

2. Then take one end of the strip of paper and tie it into a knot (under then over)

3. Crease it so it's flat and neat

4.  Fold the short tail of paper into the knot. If the tail extends beyond the knot then fold or snip a little off the end

5. Fold the long tail over the knot and towards the opposite side and repeat this process until there is only a short tail left                                                                   

 6. Fold that small tail over. If it goes beyond the opposite side just snip some off the end until it fits

 7. Fold that tail into the flap directly under it

 8. You should now have a pentagon shaped "button". Take the pentagon between your thumb and index finger at the side edges. Push gently with your thumbnail into the center of one edge until it puffs up a bit. Repeat this with each side until you have a comleted star

 Congratulations! You have made a Chinese Lucky Star!

 Now go crazy and make a bunch! :D

The Smell of Love

Photo edited by Rebekah Northrup

There is a smell in the air

Better than a fresh apple pie

A brand new car

This scent smells so good

It's to die for

It's better than any febreeze

Not even comparable

To flowers in the breeze

I'm addicted to this smell

What is this smell?

It smells like love.

It smells like you and me

I hope it lingers

I hope it stays

I hope this is the only scent

In my heart forever

Meet Jake and Sierra

Hi, we're Jake and Sierra! We both decided to start this blog together since it would be easier to make one together rather than each make our own... and it would be more fun too. This is the first blog for both of us so forgive us if it isn't very good, but we'll try to make it as enjoyable as possible!

A LITTLE ABOUT US


"All men are created equal, and a few become firemen" ~ unknown

I'm Jacob. I love to have fun and like to read and hang out with friends. I am a fire explorer and am planning on being a fire fighter one day. I did Krav Maga, an Israeli martial art, for three years. Any day above ground is a good day, are the words I live by.
