"Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.
The rest of me sinks
into the abyss of love
where true value lives

Lie cold in the ground
beneath winter's fingertips
in serenity
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. ~ Edgar Allan Poe
these few words speak loud
in the midst of silence heard
not once did one see
not once did one see
