I often wonder on long, gray days
And beautiful, wet nights
What I would be if I were a fruit.
An orange, maybe
.
Not red as apples
Nor soft as peaches
Nor sweet like grapes
But a humble orange
Made of sections
The sum of all parts greater than the whole I’d be seedless, of course
And white would be my soul
That’s the stringy part you’d pull out
Before you eat my pieces, eat me.
But most of all
I’d be on fire always.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player

And then is heard no more.
It is a tale told by an idiot,
Full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."o:p

"As a person puts on new garments, giving up old ones,
the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones."

I scored as Angel
Angels are the guardians of all things, from the smallest ant to the tallest tree. They give inspiration, love, hope, and positive emotion. They live among humans without being seen. They are the good in all things, and if you feel alone, don't fear. They are always watching. Often times they merely stand by, whispering into the ears of those who feel lost. They would love nothing more then to reveal themselves, but in today's society, this would bring havoc and many unneeded questions. Give thanks to all things beautiful, for you are an Angel.
