Should I Depart Early. Top Story - September 2026.
Should I Depart Early, please do not fret For almost a certainty I’m home, tucked in bed Should you search there and find me gone It’s fair to say I rose again And walked along Off to the garden Off a beaten path Follow me Toward the endless sea Should I depart early Seek a quiet place Like a stone So merrily do we roll Unsettled in our grace I likely took time To reflect on these rhymes A simple moment Fleeting, unfamiliar In these vapid times. Should I depart early Think of it not in terror We so often find silence harrowing Instead take heed And mire in its pleasure Should I depart early I might have flown away, But don't be weary We’ll find each other Some other day

Snuggle
Believe it or not, snuggling is very important, Physical touch can be hard for a lot of people, and that's okay, Studies have shown that 94 percent of couples who regularly snuggle tend to report feeling happier in their relationship, compared to the 68 percent of couples who don't snuggle.

sister sunlight
achingly rusted bones bend out of bed the weight of a full skull sits heavy in my head loaded minds roll all the dice while I slip my body of flesh onto the floor eyes closed I feel it pour sunlight streams through spotted window panes roasting my marrow like a marshmallow over open flames sister sunlight sparkles her radiant rays every morning she slides a folded paper note into my pocket promising that today is a new day while sleeping minds get cleansed in moonlight the searing sun prepares her masterpiece through molten mantles she shines only on the other side my fragile metatarsals will never make their way to her yet from miles away she moves me moves my world stops every morning to have a spot of tea with my mind sipping gently cooing praises for my waking demanding that I understand with all my heart and soul that darkness does not last forever and neither will I but I am here now with her alive
