[QUOTE="Bhryn Astairre, post: 2562282"] [b]A poem and a Diary excerpt[/b] [i] Another delicate post on crackled yellow paper that smells and hints of lemons. [/i] [font=times new roman]I have seen forever In the face of my child. I know Death Is only a heartbeat from my Doorstep: and yet I go to war Gladly. What is it that I see In the eyes Of frightened soldiers? A harboured spirit That can never rest Until a deed is done. You'll raise a hand In anger But not go back on what You mean. Violence and blood were There when she smiled So sweetly at me. Time heals all They say. They all say it heals A hollow heart Where ruins remain of a once Perfect world. "I am free," She said to me With only the faintest of Breaths to die As soon as given life. Free? Then sleep and dream No more of this world Or of the sins you Were made to bear because I Could not. I saw it there when She closed her eyes: Eternity questioned In a thousand white lies. ~ Bhryn[/font] [i]another note, written in a different hand:[/i] [FONT=Georgia]If today is to be a good day Then it be bright with love. If tomorrow is nothing Then I will have had today To dream about the future. Yesterday is when I dreamed Of the tomorrow that is Today. Each passing day reminds Me that uncertain life is all We have to show for our cares. Yet in Hope and Memory lie Our greatest gifts: The dreams of Hope build Everything from souls to empires. The Memory of what we lose with The rising sun keeps us smiling. If I should not see another tomorrow From today, then think of me Yesterday and dream of your future: For I have dreamed mine, and Today, now, is all I have. Alantie.[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
