What Should I Be
If I am to be a rock. Shall I be a rock, fashioned to a shape just so? To take my place and make my home in the pedestal or column of the façade of some mighty building. I will bear the weight of others, that they in turn might rise ethereally into the clouds.ContinueContinue reading “What Should I Be”

The Wounded Sphinx
Now that the journeys were close to begin, the four Knights bade farewells and much vow to come and visit. The Blue Knights went first straight into the dark forest, keen to become to the great city of Az where their child would be raised. Not knowing.

A Better World
Now that the seas could breathe once more, certain things, question marks, unsolved issues. The People of Mer said, we don’t want you here any time soon, go hence from our seas and never darken our cave doors again.
