Small Spirit by J. A. Wise Tuesday, March 16, 2004 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
A little girl dances in an empty room, eyes filled with memory and tears half-shed. She's not perfect, but she's special. A halo hangs, slightly blistered, against her head. The sky weaps because she's not happy, but all she hears is music beating time out like a dream. She tries to rise above; she sinks back down on broken wings.

painfully beautiful. It feels like a secret being told...

Poignant write, Jason. The imagery is exquisite. Best regards, Leland
