My paper cranes

Folded with my patience and heart

They line up neatly on my desk like tiny soldiers

I have an army.

My formidable little army

Wearing different brightly colored armor

Each one is unique.

Each unique crane

Can fend off cold hearts with their noble presence

Tiny, but mighty.

So free.

So lovely.

So magnificent.

My magnificent creatures

So obscure to our world

I bring them to life

My paper cranes
