chaos will always be birthed from the ashes
honor will burn away your soul and call it righteous
compassion will flicker in the wind but never fade
patient roots thrive quietly
hope is a flower blooming in dim light
determination is a seed making a long journey home
curiosity will brave daunting depths
truth is a mirror distorting reality
luck is a singular blessing or a collective curse
integrity will turn a heart to steel
wit will make a lonely savior
equity leaves no one to dig the graves
serenity is a calming farce
faith is the ghost of love
imagination always gives a second chance
duty is a double-edged promise
valor makes rulers of the broken
persistence means survival leaves you empty

I want nothing more than to dedicate my life to writing, so I figured I would start here to test the waters. I will be submitting stories to as many communities as possible.
The Singer So Shy
She stood near the cold fireplace, watching the second-hand tick down to the hour. In another minute, the clock's bird would emerge and warble the hour. She reached up and touched the clock, tracing the gentle slope of the farmhouse roof, then trailing down the lilac strewn side, to the white fence framed dooryard. She wished she was there, where the air would smell of lilacs rather than smoke.

This is some amazing work - the line about luck and "determination is a seed making a long journey home" - so good!
This will stick with me for a long while...and I love the Bragg quote!
