Donner

Donner is the Irish God of protection, meaning he protects his believers from harm's way.

Most of his believer's are either Firemen or Police officers, and he protects them when they are protecting others. Donner can not always protect all of them though, and if one dies, they just help Donner to protect his whole family, as well as other firemen and policemen.

sonnet number two

There it goes again, I feel so alone
Vision becomes blurry, can’t see a thing
Time to focus, time to get in the zone
Wondering what the next moment will bring

I am alone, and suddenly it’s cold
Surrounded by people, I am lonely
This world seems so empty, yet so controlled
I wish he was mine, my one and only

My life feels very empty, very bare
My eyes are glazed, my face, it is lifeless
I’m so weak, I can hardly say a prayer
What I would give to be forever ageless

I see his face, and it makes me real sad
After all, my life really isn’t bad.

sonnet number one

She lays there, helpless, surveying the scene
Sudden thoughts of death arise in her mind
Wondering how, what does this all mean?
The flashing lights, the rain, she feels blind.

Her heart is racing, she feels so alone
Finally, a familiar face shines through
The face is a relief, very well known
Shock sets in, her luck is overdue

Her view becomes foggy, much like a dream
All the lights and sounds become a background
Containing emotions, she wants to scream
Distraught about the car, her tire is found

She has just cheated death, and is thankful
Although she feels absolutely disgraceful.
