DRIFTING:
Blowing onward
Horizons bound
A single feather
Tumbling 'round
A gust Skyward bound
Across the hues
In sunset found
A vision cast
Over jaded eyes
A moment
Painted
In evening gown
Notebook
Cast aside
Under heavy hand
Weary eyes
Give way to dreams
Reality torn
At the seems
Gentle beams
Sun bowing to moon
A young soul
In her room
Silver sheens
In the evening gloom
Memories loom
With lasting wish
Kaloriinn, James .Mason
ONE MORE:
And the world falls apart
Standing still
Running nowhere
Cross roads
In a land of nowhere
Cross roads
With no place to go
Cross roads
The corruption surrounds
Falling
My skies
Vanish
Buried in decay
Lullabies sung
For the past
Faith fades away
As everything
Becomes one more
One more day
One more night
One more look
One more breath
One more cut
One last time
Finding one less
Reason to be
Heartbeat
Crossroads
No place to go
Seconds drifting
Slow
In a land of ash
Home
Is a fantasy
Buried in the snow

What are some horrifying discoveries found inside the Devil’s Bible?
The Codex Gigas, or Devil's Bible, is the largest surviving medieval manuscript. It measures 92 cm tall, 22 cm thick, and weighs 72 kg. Created in 13th century Bohemia, the Codex Gigas contains a Vulgate Bible and a compendium of Bohemian knowledge. Remarkably, handwriting analysis suggests the entire book was written by a single scribe, a task that would have taken an estimated 20 years. The calligraphy throughout the Codex Gigas is astoundingly consistent, showcasing the scribe's unwavering precision and skill. The most striking illustration in the book is a full-page depiction of the Devil, shown crouching with raised clawed hands and a snarling expression. Legend claims that a monk named Herman the Recluse, facing punishment, promised to create the book in one night to earn redemption. The story suggests that Herman sought the Devil's help, who agreed in exchange for Herman's soul and the inclusion of the Devil's portrait. While the tale of Herman the Recluse and the Devil's involvement is merely a legend, it adds to the intrigue surrounding the Codex Gigas. The Codex Gigas remains a testament to the knowledge, artistry, and dedication of its mysterious creator. So, if you ever get a chance to see the Devil's Bible in person, do it. Just don't blame me if you have nightmares about that creepy Devil picture later.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
