Welcome to FallenClan challenges, from an amazing forum ran by succelentsofa! The first is a poem from Invisiblekit's point of view, a character from The Odd Tail of Invisiblekit. Specifically this was the "Mix it up a little" challenge.
Sunlight filters through the leaves
A bright diamond on the forest floor
But when I place my paw there it never changes
Like the endless light of the sun
Shadows dance across my pelt
Touching me along my flanks
But if I gaze down, low and behold
An empty void is all I see
A taste of sweetness permeates the air
Blooming flowers, fresh green sprouts
But my own scent is no more than a breathy wind
In other words no smell at all.
Echoes of birdsong flit about
Moving as their bearers do
But when I lift my voice to join theirs
My throat closes, my vacant lungs quake
I try to make my mark
Press my paws into the warm earth
But when I lift them the ground is blank
As if paw and dirt had never met
Others will pass me by
They will press their bodies close
But I hold no warmth in my touch, nor cold
I am no feeling at all.
Even the wind has its whiplike touch
Even the air carries many a smell
Even a melody carries the listener away
It is only me, in this lonely world I remain
For he who walks along the path of nothing
They who are shrouded in a dark cloak
She who was fated to be alone
Will never be more than unseen.
