Shake Your Mane

“Wrong will be right, when Aslan comes in sight,
At the sound of his roar, sorrows will be no more,
When he bears his teeth, winter meets its death,
And when he shakes his mane, we shall have spring again.”
-The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

It’s been a hard winter
Shake your mane

Five long months of
Heavy snow, biting wind
Shake your mane

Schools close
Roads slow
Boughs break
Shake your mane

Tears don’t flow
They freeze
Holding cold hands
Joints crack like pavement
Shake your mane

For Brittany, Four Years Ago

brittanyfreshman

In this life you will have pain
You will want to sleep
You will want to close your eyes
Wake up, keep them open

Remember that beautiful things spring forth
From cracked earth, cracked jars, cracked hearts
You will want to be awake to see them
You will wonder with eyes wide
