Notre Dame Bells
It tolls eighty eight, times to symbolize that someone has died .It wasn’t the ordinary man in the street or the man that frequently disrupt the people’s heart beat; it wasn’t the fellow down the road or the man tending to sheep up the road, it was the man that wore the papacy cap and...

Jumping
Arisen, she tumbled into a dream which, replicated a memory of one previously. Uncertain and still, like the tiptoe of a newborn finch on the branch, a world of chaos lay before her.

While silvery fish glide stealthily leaving barely a ripple behind, a chorus of frogs’ croaks echo like the whining twang of a plucked banjo string. Dragonflies skim the water’s surface as their translucent wings shimmer like gems in the sunlight, dart about the...
