DistractionDistraction by ~Jera07
Fingers reaching
I grope for you
Needing safety
Wanting warmth
I see you begin to turn
Your eyes bright
Your laugh deep
The one I promised my life to
My heart warms in answer
They call you
The voices
The sirens
Distraction snares you before you see
Me
Faithful, waiting
Cold, nauseous
Your eyes spark in answer
To the call
Your smile widens
Laughter on your lips
My fingers miss your hem
As you turn back to
Them
The Others
My world darkens
Not asked to come
Not asked to leave
Limbo
It's cold
The tear on my cheek
Freezes
The Shadow KnowsThe Shadow Knows by ~Jera07
"Have you ever done any shadow work? You know, where you meet your 'dark side…?'" My friend paused for effect. "You do a meditation with the intent of meeting your darker aspects, the negative stuff. But don't do it alone!" she warned. "Have a friend there in the room with you while you meditate – and take a flashlight with you on your journey. Light will overcome the Darkness. Oh, and in your meditation, dress yourself in a purple cloak! That is a color of protection." She nodded sagely.
It all sounded pretty spooky to me!
I was relatively new to meditation with only a few months of practice to my credit. The meditations had qui

My husband fought his way through traffic speeding his way to the hospital. I sat in the passenger seat, a kitchen towel wrapped around my wrist, my head back against the headrest, eyes closed. Apprehension filled the air. He kept glancing over to see if I was still conscious. Damn, girl, I thought. You did it this time.
The morning had started out as most Saturday mornings, we slept later than usual, breakfasted in sweat pants and took dibs on who would hit the shower first - a wonderful, lazy Saturday morning. Klaus went through the bathroom while I washed up the few remaining dishes from the evening before. I heard the gentle hum of his

The Hogwarts Express rumbled along the tracks, its rhythmic jolting as effective as a lullaby. Leandra Maycomb sat in the compartment with her head on her chest, torn between sleep and wakefulness by the soft movement of the train. It was the sixth time she rode the train to Hogwarts and the sixth time she couldn't fight off sleep. She had really tried to stay awake and speak with her friend opposite to her, but drowsiness had washed over her within an hour of the ride and she was inattentive for the rest of the trip.
Across from her sat Chloe Williams, who was watching the trees go by in the darkening evening. Occasionally she glanced at Le

In Acknowledgement
of the Heroic Efforts of My Wife, Jera Dreamweaver
Approaching as a heroine
Fierce and proud and free
Your every thought resounding
Thoughts of freeing me
I see you coming now
Over hill and river and dale
Through storms that surge beyond us
Through thick and smashing hail
I'll send my armies to meet you
To stand and bar your way
The blackest vile hatebeasts
That ever saw a day
My Black Fortress looms before you
A terrifying sight
That swallows all that warms us
Makes dark that which was bright
But my armies turn to dust
To your radiance none can stand
All beasts are seared before
