The Crane Wife

And under the boughs, unbowed,
all clothed in a snowy shroud.
She had no heart — so hardened;
all under the boughs, unbowed.

Each feather — it fell from skin,
‘til threadbare, while she grew thin.
How were my eyes so blinded?
Each feather — it fell from skin.

And I will hang my head, hang my head low.
And I will hang my head, hang my head low.
And I will hang my head, hang my head low.

A gray sky, a bitter sting,
a rain cloud, a crane on wing..
All out beyond horizon, 
a gray sky, a bitter sting.

And I will hang my head, hang my head low.
And I will hang my head, hang my head low.
And I will hang my head, hang my head low.
And I will hang my head, hang my head low.
And I will hang my head, hang my head low.
I will hang my head, hang my head low, low, low.

Reclaiming my muchness

This blog post has been stewing in my brain for quite some time lately. Now that doesn't mean that it will blow your mind or have any literary value, but at least it's better than a line or two and a music video. Well... at least I hope it is. I'll try to be as open as possible even if that leads you all to see me as a crazy, however, some things still hurt and still terrify me even though it has been over seven years. For the past six months friends have asked me how I've overcome my weaknesses and found zeal for life. Well, here's my story: Fall of 2008, I moved away from home, started my first semester of college, broke it off with my boyfriend of about three years, started dating another guy, and jumped right into the Army ROTC program at BYU by joining the Ranger Challenge team. My life was drastically changed. Being human - a creature of habit - I had adverse reactions to these changes. In high school I was deeply invested in my schooling. I did all of ...
