Where words become worlds, and silence holds its breath.
Featured verse
We think of gardens as beautiful,vibrant,a living myriad of daylightTransformed into a mysterious euphony of soundand growth by moonlight
I will not fade into the night.I will not sink beneath the dirt.I am Rue-ka. Remember the name.Forged by lightening. Tempered in flame.But I was born beneath the stars of Doom.
