Birds - any warm-blooded vertebrate of the class Aves, having a body covered with feathers, forelimbs modified into wings A wise Frenchman once said; God loved the birds and invented trees. Man loved the birds and invented cages. As he looked at the tiny caged bird, he could not help but mourn for its fate. Mourn for its loss of freedom. Mourn for its life in captivity. Mourn for all it's children, born in cages, never to know the blue sky. Never to know freedom. Perhaps it was sorrow that made him buy the tiny bird and take it home. Once the duo arrived at his home, he put the cage on the windowsill and opened both window and ca

Window - such an opening with the frame, sashes, and panes of glass, or any other device, by which it is closed. They say the eyes are the window to the soul. He had heard this being said countless times during the years. Over and over again. Oh how he hated that saying as he looked into the eyes of his beloved. Her once lovely lively eyes, filled with hopes and dreams and such incredible passion and love. Now, a mere shadow of herself, her eyes hollow and empty. As though no thoughts were going through her head anymore. She had been like this for two months now, after that traumatic event. Surely, she was still in there somewhe

Noble - of an exalted moral or mental character or excellence; lofty: noble thought. - The music pounded in his ears, his head bobbing to the tune's beat. He never left home without music blasting from the massive headphones covering his ears. He loved music. It left him with the feeling of escaping reality, of entering his own little world, far from everything and everyone else. Music was his world. As he listened, he made up stories and skits and scenes in his head; wondrous things, sad things, scary things. All his attention and focus on the tunes and lyrics, so lovely and loud against his ears. Perhaps if he hadn't been so focu

Feather -  one of the horny structures forming the principal covering of birds A single feather as white as snow. She had found it on her windowsill one night, the moonlight giving it an ethereal glow. It reminded her of the wings of a pure white dove or perhaps even the wings of the portraits of angels. Purity and freedom. That was what wings symbolized to her. She had placed the fragile thing on her night stand, and that was where it had remained ever since. A single feather as white as snow. One night, she dreamt. Massive, pure white wings grew out of her shoulder blades. She could feel in all her heart, that now she was a

Nothing - no thing; not anything; naught: to say nothing. --- Listen closely, my little friend; for this is my story about nothing at all. I have no stories of great battles between good and evil, nor of the hero who saved the princess in the tower and slayed the mighty dragon. I will not tell you of the old fairytales, of the sleeping maiden hidden in thorns, neither will I tell of the beautiful girl with skin as white as snow. No mention will I give to the tales of the animals with the gift of speech, living in the forests of yore. No. For all I will share with you, my little friend, is reality. And reality does not consis

Cicada -   any large homopterous insect of the family Cicadidae, the male of which produces a shrill sound by means of vibrating membranes on the underside of the abdomen.                                     - She loved the night more than anything. The way the lake looked as fireflies danced under the moonlight that was reflected on the lake's smooth surface. The infinite night sky filled with far more stars than she could ever hope to count. The soft hoot of the owls perched in various trees across the meadow. But what ensorcelled her the most this time of the night, was the cicada's song. To her, it was more hypnotizing than

Fortune - power or force, often personalized, regarded as being responsible for human affairs; chance --- Lady Fortune might've been many things. Cruel was not one of them. People cursed her for their bad luck, their bad fortunes both in wealth and luck. Their faces were green with envy as they watched those more fortunate than them, those who earned more riches in a month than what they would ever earn in a life-time. And yet, they didn't understand her. For those blessed with such riches were lucky indeed, but it had nothing to do with her kind of luck - they hadn't been blessed by her. So she did not stand at fault. No, tho

Photograph - A picture or likeness obtained by photography. He loves photographs. They capture the memory, the atmosphere and the feeling of that one special moment so he always can treasure and memorize it. He takes photographs everyday. Of nature, of people he meet and of people he doesn't meet, of smiles and tears, of adults and children and of everything inbetween. He forgot once who he was. And so every day when he wakes up, every day when he goes to sleep, he takes a picture of himself, of his apartment and of the view from his balcony. He will never forget again.

Heartbreak - great sorrow, grief, or anguish She grasped at her chest, her other hand placed against the wall as she sunk down to her knees, gasping for breath as tears slid without control down her red cheeks. He had left her. Her eyes squeezed shut. He might as well have driven a knife through her chest, for surely, such a pain must seem like nothing more than a mosquito bite compared to the agony she now felt. Heartbreak... It didn't make sense. Heartbreak. She let herself taste the word and the meaning, but still could make no sense of it. Was it truly heartbreak she was experiencing now? Why would they call this heartbrea

Mermaid - a female marine creature, having the head, torso, and arms of a woman and the tail of a fish People say that if one drinks the blood of a mermaid, a legendary being which is said to be a mix between a woman and a fish, one would obtain immortality and live, forever. She had always been so frail and sick. While other children had been outside playing games together, she had watched from her bedroom window in envy, sorrow and with a sting of pain. Why couldn't she be healthy and out there, running and laughing, singing and hiding. Instead, all her life she had been confined to a bland and white bedroom with simple toys
