Elegy to the Lost Boys

Different individuals, yet sharing the same heart, Different individuals, yet united by the same vision. They emerge from their shelters at dawn, Invigorated by the morning light. Boys with diverse talents, They transformed the unused and discarded. Boys of profound grace, They knew how to summon the elements to do their bidding. Boys of insight and wisdom, They were regarded as blessed by the Divine. Boys of remarkable strength, They toiled from dawn until twilight. They were separated in their search for the fullness of light, Venturing apart in their quest to understand the mysteries of the night. One by one, they disappeared, Lost to the unknown, Veiled by the unseen. July 24, 2025.
