Even though I am no eagle soul of purpose, with
clumsy wings spread wide, inviting the infinite to
love me just enough to forgive my
inadequate flapping, I once again strain to
peer into that divine
space, where even my own shadow cannot
exist.

A Tale of Bittersweet Love
Few events are as moving and eerie in the world of human feeling as the reverberation of an unfulfilled love. That is the core of the melancholy love story—hearts colliding in a rush of desire only to fall apart at the hands of fate's harsh hand. Here, among the broken dreams and unmet promises, is a story that endures the test of time: one of love that is found, treasured, and lost.

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
