A warrior who continues to see the good in everything
He has fought many battles, and each one
makes him come back stronger
wiser
kinder
His honey eyes tell stories that only the pure of heart can read
His heart opens only for those that have the keys
Special keys,
forged in the place between love and loss,
joy and sorrow,
life and death
He never falters in seeing that there is a light within the darkness,
knowing that neither can truly exist without the presence of the other
He lives by the sun and loves by moonlight,
fiercely,
and without judgment
He is one with the life that exists just for him
and his world is a beautiful kingdom of night,
illuminated by stars and moonlight
and built from the finest stone, marble, mortar, and brick

The Lovely, Sweet Girl
Soft hazel eyes invite you to sit, radiating with a warmth akin to fresh-baked French bread from a Parisian bakery A smile emerges, and a giggle like tinkling bells fill the space as she sips boba tea and schools you on how to properly use chopsticks while eating sushi

The River's Due
The river in our village was everything. Giver of life, bringer of death. It provided you with good fortune or stole your future. It was where the priests baptized us and the grandmothers blessed us afterward, in between the washing. The river’s spirit whispered to us all, every day of our lives. When someone was lost to the river, those same traveling priests claimed God had called them home. We nodded to make them feel better, but we knew it was the river that had come calling for its due. We may have come to accept Jesus as our savior, but had our doubts he would have tried to walk our river.
