And she, like...

With playful roars in tiny fists and feasts.
Fleeting wings glide to dreams just out of reach
Soaring through tales of barnyard Waddles and Squeaks.

The walls are imprisoned in silence,
A heavy, powerless silence, shattered
By voices, tears, and crowded souls.

Crimes are sentences uttered in the halls,
The innocent are moving targets,
An age-old burden on the...

whilst for a Christian,...

To the lily moon that
