Trixsie's odds and ends

[Trixsie Vixen]

My hope is that is will ring true for some people.


I guess that's mostly what I hope for.  Strike an emotional chord.

[Nikolai the Lynx]

It is always good to know someone out there is hit by your works more than others.

[Trixsie Vixen]

So true! 

[Trixsie Vixen]

I stand in the cold
On the far edge of the Disc
And the turtle weeps

[Nikolai the Lynx]

That makes me think of Terry Pratchett

[Trixsie Vixen]

Yes indeed,  I wrote it for him.  His passing is a sad thing indeed

That is why the turtle weeps.

[Nikolai the Lynx]

Oh crap. I didn't know he had died....

[Trixsie Vixen]

The lone fox watches
Filling the night with counting
Sixty six: too young

[Trixsie Vixen]

Today I just want to be very small
Often I want to be loud or tall
To make a splash or throw a bash
But not today, no not at all

Today I'm just a dreamy little girl
Not a wild foxnado all in a whirl
Falling asleep like a snuggy sheep
My heart drifts off around the world

[Tim Siguire]

This one speaks to me. Sometimes I just don't want to be loud or noticed. Peacefully.

[Nikolai the Lynx]

That is such a sweet and beautiful one.

The first line just makes me imagine a little baby fox all curled up.

[Trixsie Vixen]

It is a rare mood for me Tim

I was falling asleep when I wrote this Nik so in a way that's what I saw too

[Nikolai the Lynx]

Awww, you are such a darling.

[Trixsie Vixen]

So long, standing on the edge
Wanting to step off, close my eyes
Bid silent farewell to the ledge
No more wherefores, no more whys


An end to fear and nameless dread
A chance to plummet if not to fly
No more echoes of things unsaid
To finally live free or die


They say if you wait too long
You will never take the plunge
Stand there forever like you belong
Clothes drinking sweat like a sponge


I stood there for the longest time
A plasma globe of wind in hair
Then I step forward and find I'm
Not falling nor flying, just hanging there

[Nikolai the Lynx]

That is a very interesting. Brings a few things to mind.
