I do not consume, I create. I do not absorb, I radiate.
Dust & Snow
Stone soul who wonderingly gazes down on a tide of falsehoods, unfeeling stone who does not feel the deep winter's cold that destroys the flesh, and sears the eyes. She sees the lights and the bustle of the city that never dies; yet not living herself; she only...

Another sunrise. I returned home from my week long trip, but still found the time to go see the sunrise on Saturday morning. How many sunsets will I see? How many sunrises? They happen every day, why do I only find time to see them...
