And did he see it, in the instant before the ordeal The forty days’ hellish road ahead before he reached heaven? Did the lonesome valley stretch out before him...

I don’t know how many times I have shed my old skin, like a moth seeking light under the moonlit sky, Leaving behind pieces of myself that no longer knew my name, shadows of a silent past, I wandered through labyrinths of memories, seeking answers in echoes lost in time, Wondering if change is just another facet of...

A silver ghost on moonlit wings, Flutters through night's velvet curtain. Pale dancer in celestial rings, Of earthly cares, she's now uncertain. A living moonbeam, fragile, light, Drawn to stars like distant flowers. Navigating by lunar sight, Through shadowed groves and midnight bowers.

What is mist in my demeanour, makes me fray when I am touched, the thread is just a little leaner, when the rug is pulled too much. Adjust the light, reduce the glare, the eyes will compensate the glow with just the right influx of air, the breath will gently ease its flow.
