- For anyone who was wondering, I have come up with a cycle for posting my stories. Last week I posted Chapters of The Gifted Part 1, and The Gifted Part 2. This week I am posting a chapter of Thieves as well as a piece of poetry. Next week I will post a chapter of All the Time in the World and another piece of poetry. I would also like to clarify to anyone who reads The Gifted parts 1 & 2 that they are not the same story. Part 2 takes place after part 1, which is not completely posted yet. Sorry to confuse everyone, but Part 2 fit the fall theme so well I just had to post it. Anyways, enjoy the poetry.
The Pool of Reflection I found myself One day At a solitary pool, So calm and quiet, Not a breath Stirred its image. As I looked down, I looked up And reflected on my life. I saw the pain that I had caused Both others and myself; I saw my sins And all my faults. As I looked down, And I looked up, In the corner of my eye I saw a tree, A flower, A breeze, And I stopped wondering Why it was That God created me. Instead I wondered Why He had to die, Not me. I left that pool a different person Resolved to start anew, And though I may fail Sometimes, I strive to follow God.Genre
