The road was rough, the path well-worn, My boots were dusted in what we mourn. I walked by the field we used to know, Where dreams were born, but failed to grow. A window glows behind a hill, A face I loved, maybe there still. But time's moved on, and so have we, After we fought - I lost the...

Atop the edge where silence leans, A figure stands — the dusk between. No name, no face the canvas shows, Just wind that hums what no one knows.

It does not rise with pointed proof, nor beg for silence turned to truth. It flows because the heart now dares to speak in lines what once hid there. Where words once cost too much to say, a...

Oh, God bless the beasts, that have no voice, that have no choice. We can't really see the world they see, or know what they truly want and feel, until they can talk to us in a proper conversation... "Ben, the two of us, need look no more. We've both found, what we were looking for!" "I...
