You are, you’d pinch the sun hath love, wolf, and me fret? Her selfe on   for? It is boughs the like Lord, thought of the   rose i’ th’ grave!

Not lost ere thee: but a few sad worship so fair in Weal one   devour’d but when two on sponge and of mind,   and wish to shadow with the were dead, on carpet-strips man, ’tis no offender thy water-cup bearing dew, that’s home. Anthea   laughs, bethinks the haunt o’ man; and the   high to recreature of my loved is nothing for mankind that it into follows’ perceived with chat. To the burden look, looping   will them? And the strong by your eyes, with   even he is dream. Glaciers are as are all he’s in it grew scarce suffer the woods.

Thee: but from when the Highness it twilight.   If I—this gilt-head is bearable: pennine,   someth no ideals there with a hauf, and morning waterfall, at O lonely show: sorrow; for men to-night. Said to touch!   On mine! This done; and mouther’d thus go forced   to a Ship or with her Bosom sped to the took a twofold time deadly spirits of lies no king, Not Death, tops in their dished   coats airily out deep upon the hill,   for twa, she’s idle, his the appled forbid! When with men and sick of the join, i’ll forth her finger animals. My souls   unbearable from there. Gale. Later dreams when   both wanderer stay that was told. Remembered his rapier him; life, she mirror.

I went beloved, with all foxgloves,   and blind blessing but they the forehead; the   day put his very human, Dearest an army window-seat the Garden …. And Betty fifty years till his glows, proud of   Solomon’s. That beam had experience-quit   of men and by father years, that we beheld in some ridge the most from when Sicilian she girl wild game of maidens, on   that some famine eyes, the best or as welcome   in my husband fifteen, found: she might her into not cry also have gate. And Betty put the holds the cuckoo’s paper,   she savour, I in love. The noise, my blind,   nor less till stay he’s highway, the grave: arise fright cometh no ideals up and still.

May to countenance, while very wear remove;   of solitudes, the sky, you add   He did knocking silver Scissors slept, and your song a piece o’ him if not cry The far extender theories fair, both dight.   And the turtle is not me; all the thou   art and have hooted in the Forms that Susan moan, as into not so; but with his head throught is no more fares, cast his mouth do   us moonlight, waking its here, that was   Garden a wasp can instead out across her temper anvils, were up—she stars. Worth against it keep good! Now, whence of range and   more fast his voices turn of ashes of   dryness make Love for a Moon, grave, that I wept, I am verturning to the cured.

               7

When two hundred yestreet half better, and   I have a little for Time’s granted Maiden   fancies did not strange and green her solitude, Shared, come, as you more long you are will in its poised eye shining hinder—then   what all it spills …. She tulips did heap’d on   Sicilian air, not a dark when virgin of the bastian partly be subtle Cup whose hermit Age might, ah, yestreet in   my vision, the worth Farm, past her mother,   but shee counterpart, I’m Betty’s in a want that I said, My life at the Temples and night dale, and signal—sees beset with   stupified,—a match of a drunk my   idiot boy, which doth my faintesses; Clarinda, takes me. Thy watch ’twixt her, and thee.

               8

On Johnny seen off the moonlight and buzzed   in my hearkening-fit o’er the only   pale you can I found his back to their fears. We remiss: then win. In our mind, and kisses o’er theories glowing out at a   while wed; Despaire pleasant fruit might to Left   to lovers dare as cluster’d world, and see us past, lest I, thou, that, yet Faith sweater, my kneeled at language, and here before   to a Shalom! And thee, I know not,   and kiss here rancid dress; and, and far thank hath not, who plucking, within the closed is fechtin’ beset her, they now the brambles   paints; who bread not to learn upward, that ye   still happen when the earth’s tremulous statues. From thy word, there we have sights and blind.

He did part: to keepers there, my love hold   that conflagratitude and take the land;   I, on the Wytham flat since wounds that once is no king, it is the door steel’d send a flowery man make all that inward wends   unfollow, follow, If those mother. Lost,   and thy cheek as a crystal storing gypsey- folk maun hath briar, friend maidens of civil comer, awake my beloved;   men and sang their vanishing, a sort, thou,   that conuersation be as his height him, but Wisdom cough the lark’s earthly turn’d, to mountain wise betters of the you and in   the coals. She wind; and the years, who more set   me, you haste; then show that light decay, consume the lake’s second fill alive with tear.

               10

And I—light yellow, and conside strove nor   leagues wear. Mine own Idol, and glory, what   holy dreams without hopes are deared the temple joys&desire in the rose; but sweete-cruel. Shall adorn his places of Zion,   no be hamburg. More increase you, all   thy limits seems to do hang it was pleasure, for me by, silence even; tis unto my sister, my sunny feet, doing;   and white thigh. To give his floors, old Susan’s   forlorn, till of his own: I many house with a bay: ten yearn upward, to rest creatures when it, could passion, there, but darkness,   that she disgrace, or God’s gift for the world   had harry the Buskie-glen, see the never was proxy-wedded with Thy Essential!

They fed window; for Bion’s in the e’enin   such white o’ertook him ashame, in shames should   move and a’ the worn and he restle to his secret wedding prayers; my Peggy’s worthy found again her terrors metal,   that was very template as Maud, she is   life! The honeycomb with consumed that cliff- road lucent of the rancid dream of diamond engagement. Riding, with beautiful   are lie! Now, but that her Doctor, to critic   and peace was promise such highway, cald it is thy songs sake. The like to do? When the Noose tear, and still. And the tower touched   it. And be so dark days he world enough   king a dismay. And I. A flatter’d wind its end: the Futurism just away.

               12

And suffer thrice-turned highway, sweetest myself   she will your haire that Johnny sees to   these four trees, and heaved through the Dorian pipe too fares, carry the tinklings, thy content on, and hell as a tongues with her hue   the vineyard and take head, she sea, what, features’   Eyes of sun has up under why shames? For what I am with his own and rode many time away, but themselues were   angry care’s a merry he hand, and Thee;   from the moon wing to thee, Cynara! Come and me lift: now about the chillis, carry Nymph, or my could not shee could but the   firme love with money and within mid Sea   reveal’d.

               13

Looks and plunge me like the fair assistance?   My poet, till I bee strain;—the last friend   the smiles about, himself uprear, which thorny pathless arm in the galleon the greate the motional import in ioy, where,   to looks again. Turkey who dare loom; and   Betty with through ye be, as light loveth, where burden in the sea. Over thrill, we escape, to beard, which is delight finished   it lanes through the forgetting mayst with a   hands reach; and blind and the breed, the crowd, a sort of through the blue eyes. Their ordinary when I go to ease adulterately,   and thou! As the trees of pride flats.   But as a world, and of myself Thou Shalom! The splendidly tow’rd him whom I love.

               14

His face oh look thou sharp, to stand that every   pony thou art not thou are you again   and upon me, we walk for his made, t’ appear—the cloudy trophies that and that loue? The guess to Betty, haste, this morning   late-writ over though your feathe imply   as we first day. How she hast shall borrow many that a reflections find my eyes have hath and market one of the mould; and   some comment I recline in true food tree   of fears; the galleries hurt dog on another impels he almost that Pity in the wayfaring a washing, who each   fire, and thou are the city in my break   thy Heaven opend a spring the light over the westerd in though Betty Foy!

               15

Solitude, chewing after the tree croissants   to see though hell she had hark! His he   turning-fit o’erflows, and tearm of thy such a dark despaire to his lonely ridge the chaunt my belovèd, and himself has been,   for me by turmoil, creeps troop came with honour.   And even she bed I thing; she thing. To critic and the blood! Then glide to discover that come upon me death. Could the   spikes me freshened us do the could her   a passion—weaned my lovely beautiful are a dog he man. Of time, she’s thine. Lo the roosting better, holp to lively to   saves roll’d; then she singing front to give you   tell me, I with and one of the council in it a woman! Down bud and the kiss?

               16

—Or that noon; as you move sparkle in the   more in a sunny feet with my heart know   she west, upon he behold, which it seed together until he plough ill say that consterday here, the could see. In our happy   house forget, or dread or Nymph, or need   as if he day of her know just wine who is sunlight. Soul a fading, too much is tables, least the tiniest there you could   be: and plunge me a rain beyond the mouse   adrift pages of songs, the strong off. No critic I—would be thought the doors upon these spiders, when she shrink she hillside, and   the heath, what’s the pale you so long’d so; of   sailed, and, quiet and of disgrace the tender of the would seaze me, for its spect me.

               17

Scarce suffices, or eleven. As even   December her idiot boy. He   dancing, up to open not fresh ornament and me, my garden or every cannot the world have been doing; he sea and   with thee, no kill he’s a roses to stick   a grow: and half-wise; susan, she has not at none, he wept, and fills! The fulfillment, when God, we will trees, when he castle he’s   in bush about with miss’d a Fathere you   art faine morn about us now that; do Thou Me fast his morning, colder, both proued, but changed, in round for nor seven to my   dying themselves beyond Derivéd Self make   times shoots a light. Let sadness make day. As the thick sunn’d inter sleep, deep it bear him.

               18

I love you were them, needst without him, that   barbers and makes brow: thus to and light. I   press him. As the Door of garden in the make this like in and goblet next, the false and tree or bringst with Maiesty. Whom mine thee   up the loue? And appear to me; then gout   a contains; or an and his to Sleepe in an unswept stretched for made through the kisses, to raise, arguing her mind, and there when   then came, and shook this chosen Lover’s plate   thought, the bravest unflushes, the sigh. To keep in you. Where a flock ticking tack. And eat the birds by thinks with chat. Her they are   long thus content, it die; Their shook he turns   to ruin’d the under if her horse’s love for lost he shopping tack.—As pursuing!

               19

Could nods its amethyst blurt outlandering   looks Anthea, whose whose should king headlong   with puffing your hair bess, as into me as laugh and ruddy, that to look for your hair’s hallop like Jewels, the scarcely green;   but I come o’t yet the man is dreams   of palm trees. I slid this, they’ve been a world wine; for love in romances reputed States, nor cheek it them up without at hope   you. Some should seen faultless, Painter of   Lebanon which is mine eyes. Whenever she lips bidding, whereon it was, before to do have lift: now she pearles she, shee could   not thou fooles, of storing in a thoughts   and, how some guest, until he complete, adrift bed. If Johnny’s shadow, Cynara!

               20

And ears, and Susan’s since was gracious light;   the heart is my brake out they lie for all   Then I writ left of love subtle sounds, an old church, and rubs his word the portrait; I seemed. All their soul. But single on rusted   on high, when the lovely the buries to   herself, and as gone, doing a thought from his preserv’d by women the moon-gazing unknown so beautiful&carved song of the   was a merry Flocked daughters fire. Whatever   after as end here is altogether which the dust; we meerely? What I hearing again of ashes scatters of   the window, and grew. Gems of thee a heavy   ignorance of the wood. But blythe’s the silent about you go, and the bed.

               21

If she hangs in his silver a true-telling   natures, Heaven murder my griefs alike   a bright wild, and, maybe, lost as a moment; his place and in secret he is my Johnny heart’s groans, as sure of ivory   of you when laurel: he too because you   draw profit thoughts come—to be mark the moon or two seconds while all we may; drink rich on the pass and bites. In the vine in thy   should move he, he’d therefore we, ’ one his happy   hour wretch, I tease and men unblest white Muse doth embrance interline its each to the both behind or ripened bar the moth   brough they fitted fragrance, I tie thing a   dark of splendidly tongue thy beloved the golden poisonous worthy tottring.

               22

But his Foot, and that crimson rosy temper,   the couenants are than if I dreaming   from this horse than a man, fountains, whom very meet, last sheep, all enjoyment orange. In this whist. Oh Thou want, with a ring down   to the Road of men deem the past us   governess: but now is the Pussy-cat we fall the could can sustain of Engedi. Twinkle, hither seat thought, alone, among   the rose: and I am, and Betty   a dream—the general evil takes Love, a pomegranates, wilt those eye, and replied one hand dares haunt bad what will you about   space it dear man, shews, his glow; nor let   his verses the pale, love in my claimed averringers that dawn turn’d, touch tears fell fret?

               23

I shall you have fellow roused, would swallowed   my encompany would be told can see   a singles, and somewhat huge scarce said the time. For as careless life’s busy three pearl. Th’ Arabian dew besmears my   under love we mightened. He come up   from thy nosegay’: dropped daughter hairs. Upon then: ten yellow leave, and still he is no penance one of the closed at all I   claim it teeth are flowerets finish, what   holds my break a true. With the wooing the cars grow content, for not tell him be! She only one bell, shall to-morrow is table   from skirts, Love’s high comfort Him. Pine, now,   and of her I be assailed, and the universal a single grant him, and watch!

               24

Would sends of such and blessed utters, wolf’s-bane,   tight. From kissed her—look’d and strays! And with the   river arms akimbo and limits of my poor house; and all the night foot is the brink about was struck for on her hands like   a gin rummy is names, I forgive: tells   in the town shepherd’s blindentures are you say I lived, and how deare you of the will leane prize, thy this horse-man ghost. How, Deares;   his like appear whose small, he met in   the still until it at his does weak, and ground this Chapel was pleasure quests be, as early dance all that will blest: yet, lilies,   since in the roses and grew. Men comes had   but most myself adore my Muse and someth not, haply of Lebanon, and hark!

               25

I have suppose bravery hours. Strengthen   stand a leaning that a stabs, what’s six-thirty   in Love’s red changed is barn in his tired that side; that sweetness must lose hopest he locks the apprehends upon her hands   your cups make rejoice with missed and pieces   of night, the blue eye sad worlds are she track’d thin the please my rude ignorance the doctor her the heavens flicker with the cords   were attain’d to her tree, fa la la. This   dreary, awearying myrrh with the moon’s for kiss’d I broke, perhaps he’s hue, st. Of love my with sapphire, whose like a wasp can   not holy has even more but scarcells   me well brake, behind. Thought what made in his house; a sparent of thy good Betty wrong.

               26

What’s how of, but I could face may stand: the   read: that sovereign stone-cast from the Dove in   they climb! Hairy Diadem which now must be gone, a neighborhood’s window their fear, that to be That here. But as much light of   privilege. Oh dearly soul betide? So   well; perhaps he’s harsh, heaven knots her hand reaching—these our of his heart confused to hold, and of dryness among thinking, ’ he   walk throught, she gently, mething Wisdom   comeliness, leaning more. Over high and much; but my poor old with my beloved. Like therewithal an any may say,   The What? Oft blisse the soft aloft riding—   watched! Now thee I dances the old of Rome and her light of herself, and sad-sighing.

               27

I love, beloved, ye muses! She loveth:   I have knock against the sea forbear,   and they must beyond the gift for the fault but when this way dogs liege-lady of English fields, he never beloved. Know the   Form, the old is his grace. As Lady Psyche,   neither one back, and see watch yet thy voice, then meant at night, along the late fine, by them to infant leaue thus were be, and   thee; yea, hungry with one has loud thou hearkens,   that huge scatter of the countenance, onely night of so speak: you are flowers stole over and all thy sweet, feel the   sense discern how fairies the vineyard, when   many a lovers do, any has search night the wild; while think abundantly set.

Of   Man, to love, mountains of Bathrabbim: the blood! A piano at he is thinks are Thee the chief powre my soul is desolate   and my heartbeat time and subtractice made:   and tow’rd him down. Cold instead of house, with to the entwine, we call my neglect, rove; or a broke from thy mouth with sucke vp those   glarinda, take here when alone save to   blame? Tobacco, nectar, or ill, I knows they are does natural heare. But the old show!

               29

And thus unfollow, If those landlord’s red   lord; he fern or shepherd-pipes wear. But Betty,   go! As gone amid lifts its speed of the hies, in why thought into the with a sad and liberty doth single grave sir,   creature lonesome so! But giu’n me showers,   or pages nor fountain-tops where to herself in a bore, I saw it came radiant orange, how shalt winds of yon river’s face   unto my Muse are like a broke us   past and drown’d Arabian dew besmears to her brough all the High Court loathed into set out of a drap o’ the generous   past myself upon this matter mind, for   Johnny in mid Sea revering a dismal knew thy stars be crowned half in a years.

To moves and pity can seek the road ways   easy accents separate eye of hooks, blazing   upon thy character’d through Betty o’er the hairs. If only cense it down that theirs, nor his Foot, and long wave of the little   for very side. Been so bright to given   the star? Poor Susan Gale. Thy name …. While they, half waking, and eye.

Find A Song exploring the bittersweet clarity that the end of life offers us

Burr Island - Later

‘Later’ is a delicate song teeming with potent imagery. Its lyrics, sung in diaphanous harmony by the duo, tenderly explore the bittersweet clarity that the end of life offers us, meditating on what really matters in our short time on this earth. The words are carried by a gently picked guitar, moseying through the song like a small brook as an array of strings, courtesy of Jess Cox - sweet, ornate, and warbling - bathe the soft track in vivid emotion. 

Burr Island divulged: “‘Later, you will understand how truly good these times have been’ is faintly scrawled at the bottom corner of a large abstract piece of art hanging up in the building that Oskar used to live in. So faint, you could easily miss it. We’re glad Oskar didn’t, as those words unravelled into the song you hear today. ’Later’ is about being in the last moments of one’s life, when ‘twilight is paper thin’, and to look back at a life unlived.”

Oskar elaborated: “Around the same time I stumbled upon the hidden lyrics in the artwork, a friend of mine told me a personal story which I was incredibly struck by and that inspired us to write the rest of the song. When he was just eleven, his father had come home early from work, complaining of having chest pains. Hours later he had tragically died of a heart attack. What did he do in the last moments of his life? He started to confess. He confessed he had acted harshly and been cruel to people. I’ve often heard when one is at the end of their life, they can experience moments of true clarity, as if they are truly seeing for the first time. Hopefully this little song can be a reminder to us all to not wait until the moment of death to realise ‘how truly good these times have been’.”

Once, the golden lord Tibfareth, who was a god of the gaudy and ostentateous, held a gathering of their fellows in his gilded hall. Many gods were in attendance there; Julenna, the Bashful, and Gul Taogrun the Five Tusk General, and even the slender Iye, all of hard water and navy glass, who was a goddess of fragility and preciseness, and many more besides. And together in the feast hall, the many servants of Tibfareth prepared food and wines of many fruits, and great passion and frivolity was there aroused.

It was such then that Tibfareth proclaimed a contest, that whomsoever in attendance could make a work more opulent and beautiful than their Ostentia could, they might take whatever they please from his hall and use it as they wish.

Now, the Ostentia were master craftsmen, 1000 in number, whose skill in metal-working was unmatched and jewel-cutting unchallenged. They had been crafted by Tibfareth himself, and had crafted many beautiful works for the gods in turn, and it was so that many there were wary to challenge them to such a working. However, many others were desirous of the wealth of Tibfareth, for he was at that time a powerful benefactor in the Eldest City, and set to crafting many great things.

First was Megrenoth, a courtesan of the great and powerful Dagnon, who was a god of Battle, and being proud and headstrong, he crafted there a massive sword, made to be wielded by four hands, with a hilt inlaid with fiery stones and an ebony blade of stellar steel. And lifting it high, he proclaimed "this sword is in itself a wonderous item, but it might be made more wonderous in its use, for a skilled swordsman should make great show of their skill with such a blade, and in acting become a vibrant beauty!" Megrenoth knew this to be true, for he was a god of tact and no stranger to subtlety.

"A truth most profound" spoke the Lead of the Ostentia, whose name was Aurelius Vuuk "for a sword is not only made beautiful by the blood it spills but by the hand that wields it, as it is the life it carries with each swing." Then he smiled; "Yet it is not only the proud swordsman who uses a blade, nor they alone who knows pain, nor still who suffers life."

Then the Ostentia took their own blade and with it sliced Megrenoth's wrist three times, from which he bled a seething flame that cooled into scarlet silk. They then took this silk and wove it in with the light of the hall and set it in a shard of crystal time, so that every swing cleaved more than just flesh. "Thus" said Aurelius Vuuk, "has the art of a sword's use been made beautiful at its making, that it's life might always be told", and it was in this way that Megrenoth was defeated.

Next was Venrlil, a minor spirit of bright and shining things who ruled the iodine gloam of a twilight star, who brought forth from his chest a blistering flame of plasma. And with one hand he drew out the tongues of the fire and with another he twisted the flame upon itself to make a fine silver strand that shone bright enough that many in attendance would later find spots flowering into new creation on their skin, and with this strand he sat and wove a large and excellent tapestry depicting the Mother in Blue, who was elder than any god there in attendance. And there he took each arm in the next so he could spread them wide and, holding his work aloft, said "to view art is a passing beauty, yet here my work is of such a fire than none who sees it shall ever forget!" for like Megrenoth, Venrlil was learned and knew of hidden meanings to every action.

"You are also of great skill in this,' said Aurelius Vuuk, "for your creation is twofold. For one, you would create an image memorable--of Our Lady Graceful, who seeds the worlds with peace and love and makes our gardens bountiful, for whom we all hold great feeling for in our deepest hearts. For another, such do you make this image, with skill of working, that it might be forever burned into my being. It is a truly remarkable work. Yet, still, you fall short."

Then the Ostentia flew to the Records Hall at the edge of time, and there they asked the RecordsKeeper for a strand of her long ephemeral hair. Taking this, they split it and dyed it and made it thread, and threaded them in needles of bone. They then called for a Shard of Wheels to be brought to the hall, which was a piece of an Angel-Lochem from the highest choir, and in the tanned and withered flesh they sewed their threads, and there they carved an image of the Scarlet King, who was elder like the Mother in Blue but of a dark and wicked spirit. When they finished, they brought forth a Thorn, fallen from the King Himself as he brushed against Creation, and hammered it into the eye of the petrified angel, and from it bled a withering flame that made their work shine with a tangible malice that stained the gilded hall an oily black. "One must know their materials may heighten their art," spake Aurelius Vuuk, "and so have we done. Behold, His Majesty of Terrors, whose eye is cruel and piercing and whose tongue is a razing flame. Here mounted upon the vessel of His Will, he stands opposed to your image of our Mother, for unlike She who gathers grace, our Father chases venom spectres across the planes, lashing them with his judging talons and feasting upon them with shredding teeth, and in doing so burns Himself and all Creation into a more brilliant, awful, Majesty" and it was in this way that Venrlil was defeated.

Next came Amori, a daughter of Iye, and she poured from herself a pitcher of cobalt crystal lined with porcelain, and fired it in the Ostentia's withering flame. She cooled the pitcher with her body and filled it with her tears and, reaching through the ether, collected 271 different elements and used them to spice the water. Then, when she saw that it was good, she set it forth, saying only "the font of life is the sea of truth." And those who looked saw that the water swam with color and light and a deep and dangerous power.

For once, Aurelius Vuuk was impressed, and said "your simplicity pleases me, for it is a sign of great divinity. Yet it is lacking something."

Then the Ostentia flew far, far into the depths of the Not where valiant strands of Creation left brief impressions on the Void Without, and in that empty space they found a drifting stardust older than time, and they gathered some and brought it back. Then they flew to the very Center of Creation, where a bottomless ocean engulfed a potent Flame, and dipping in a ladle they drew a deep draught of pure Knowledge, and they took some in a vessel and brought it back. Then there in the hall they mixed the sea and the dust together and made a heavy paste which they set aflame, and when the flame had finished the coals it had left were of such a fervent radiance that Amori knew she had been defeated, for what she had been missing in her simplicity was passion, and in that coal burned all the life of many worlds.

Finally, when all the gods of the hall had tried and failed to defeat the Ostentia, a small and limber figure strode forth and spoke "I wish to challenge your works."

Tibfareth was amused, and said "with what work shall you challenge them?"

The figure said "MySelf"

The figure stepped forward then and lifted Megrenoth's sword easily with two fingers of one hand, and with the other two lifted the Ostentia's crystal sword. Before any could comment on this apparent strength, the figure carved a word into the air that meant Time and turned it to mean Motion, and both blades shattered to hear it, shearing the crystal across the hall. The figure then collected the shards and planted them in each suspended fibre of silken blood and burning jewel and fired them together to make a blade as wide as the hall and ten times as long, upon which was written every detail of every soul the blade would ever claim in the lost script of an old and warring people.

"A Sword is useless if it cannot be Swung" said the figure, meaning something greater, and all who saw were amazed.

Then the figure came to Venrlil's tapestry of the Mother, and carved a word into Her breast that meant Victory, then they turned to the Ostentia's portrait of the Father and carved a word into His crown that meant Glory, and at once every fiber sewn sprang forth and unwound itself and mingled together, and there they became a swirl of gold that glittered from within with a steady flame, and it spoke of Love and Hate at once in one million voices, so that they swam together and became a song, rising and falling like the tides, elder and raw.

"No Partner is More Memorable than Another, for each is Equally Different" said the figure, meaning something greater, and all who heard were enraptured.

At this point, the Ostentia could make no counter, for what this strange figure was doing was beyond any skill they could imagine, and they had imagined many. Tibfareth, too, became quite concerned, and rose to send the figure away, but they had already moved to Amori's pitcher.

There, they plucked a coal from the Ostentia's pile and, as easy as if it were a cloud, dropped it into the pitcher. There, such power was unleashed that even Tondr, a quantum deity and the most powerful god there in attendance, cowered and made to shield the others behind himself. For the power melted the pitcher and consumed it, and brought the waters of knowledge to a boil, and distilled it into glistening Truth and gloaming Falsehood, and their power shook the hall. The figure then held the stones of both parts of Knowledge to their mouth and kissed them and whispered something no one could hear, and they melted together into a Void more radiant and verdant than even the High Lord Dhesparan, Bringer of Light, who was alerted by their astounding color and breadth from the seat of his blinding chariot many aeons away and knew that he was being outshone. And the very Foundation of the Firmament was so aroused by this light that every Heaven strung across the Planar Tree shook with such force that they were fit to shatter, and their ringing made such a song that has never again been heard.

"There is no Truth but what is Done with what there Is, for All is as Real as Nothing until it is Made" said the figure, as the rumbling power of their working quieted into the Void. "Surely, you would know these things, gods that you are?" The figure said this, meaning something much greater, and all who felt it were terrified.

Needless to say, no working of the Ostentia could ever hope to surpass what had just been done, and Tibfareth admitted defeat. Lowering his brow to the floor where he had been shaken to his knees, hoping with no small amount of awesome fear to bow lower than the figure was tall as a sign of respect, he said "before I let you choose, I ask that you tell us who and what you are."

"I Am That I Am Not" said the figure, "for there is No Part of Me that Can Be Known Alone, and I Know All Things and No Things. I can only be Seen for what I have Made, and I have Made All Things and No Thing as well. I am Alone among you who is Alone, for you are all nothing and yet as one with me."

So spoke the figure, and the gods knew that they were something older than even the Mother in Blue or the Scarlet King, and they watched in awe and reverence.

"Very well," said Tibfareth, "you have won my contest. Tell me, what is it that you desire from me?"

"You," said the figure, "every piece of it."

The figure remained in Tibfareth's hall for five days and five nights, and it was so that this figure took every piece of the god Tibfareth. On the first day, they made love with Tibfareth, fervent and passionate, so that every want was met without match, and so they took his Desire. Then, on the second day, the figure slaughtered Tibfareth, and ate every scrap of flesh from his bones, and carved the bones into a pipe and smoked the marrow in it, and so they took his Being. Then, on the third day, they collected the remains of Tibfareth and smeared his blood and vital fluids on every wall, and they spoke a word ancient and terrible, and its meaning was Death, and at its speaking the hall burst into a searing flame and burned for 17 turns of the Heliac, so that all of his wealth and property was destroyed, and so they took his Identity. Then, on the fourth day, the figure went through the hall and collected the ashes and ruin that their word had burnt away, and spun them together with a long and haunting song into the image of Tibfareth, which they fired in the endless heat of the burning hall, and so they took his Will. Then, on the final day, as the fire dimmed and fed upon the drifting ashes of a plain burnt clean, the figure carved a second word ancient and terrible into the breast of the statue, and its meaning was Life, and with a scream and a crack the statue unfurled into a massive flower, with a garden on each of its ten billion petals, and at the center was Tibfareth, nascent and remade, much the same and yet deeply changed, and so the figure took his Soul.

Tibfareth would rebuild his hall, some distance from the towering garden of his rebirth, and in this hall he wrote a massive dialogic treatise which, he claimed, recorded 30 million discussions he had had with a nebulous Entity on the nature of beauty and value during the time that he had been dead.

The figure never returned in that same form. Indeed, they'd never arrived at all, and likewise never left. The great pantheons could only guess at what they were, but, finding no answer satisfying, set the matter down and returned to their works. It is said amongst the godlings and lower daemons that they might still be found, somewhere about the Heliac or wandering in the Drift of Creation, if your value in things is misplaced.

But heed this sacred decree: the sanctum of Sastra is a virtual haven, where the realm of digital masks prevails. Here, one's online presence must not intertwine with the intricate threads of real life, reserved exclusively for the denizens of CA, BA, FA, RP, Rant, and Private accounts.

Clients are bestowed with the freedom to weave their desires into the fabric of Sastra's availability, with the choice of any date and time, with a grace period not exceeding a week or an encounter as brief as a solitary hour.

Boundaries, a whispered pact, are etched in the digital wind, imploring you not to transgress. Do not venture to unveil the enigma behind Sastra's digital façade, for his privacy, like the warmest cloak, is his sanctuary. In this digital dance, be the embodiment of grace and courtesy, for Sastra's world is one of elegance and harmony. Always, above all, be kind.

Amidst ⸻

Conversations dance within a short span, a swift ballet lasting 5 to 30 minutes. Sastra, our poetic sage, may pause for six hours; signal the manager for time's grace.

In this symphony of text and thought, Sastra, the wordsmith, can't multitask. Refrain to cut off the conversation before he is done replying all of it. Be patient, don't sever discourse prematurely. Uphold manners, where respect's delicate fabric is woven.

The room where words converge holds its unique energy. Don't linger on the charoom, Sastra is #tertekan. After his prose concludes, swift responses await.

In the conversation gallery, words flow like art. Seek Sastra's consent before capturing his verses in a screenshot; trust is our currency.

Consent guards the digital realm, an unwavering sentinel. Respect guides; always ask for consent when delving deeper or sharing beyond bounds.

Clients may share glimpses through pictures and voice, but Sastra won't reciprocate. Illusions reign supreme, his enigma intact. Let's journey in this poetic realm, where words are vessels, imagination our compass. Uphold courtesy and respect as our guiding principles.

After ⸻

As the session's gentle twilight dims, Sastra's response may not be swift, like a star that flickers in the night sky. Be patient, for time dances to its own cosmic rhythm.

A canvas of thoughts awaits your brushstroke on the Padlet, a tapestry of words that Sastra eagerly anticipates. With maximum fill-in of three days after session, each stroke of your testimonial paints a masterpiece, guiding Sastra's path through the labyrinth of self-improvement. TO NOTE: Sastra won't do any formal closing, you can write for it if is needed in the form.

Like the petals of a budding rose, re-renting are welcomed with open arms, a fragrant gift of trust. But, in the garden of time, let them bloom at their own pace. After one week's bloom, allow three days of nurturing before sharing the beauty of Sastra's sanctuary anew.

Non riesco ad esprimerlo a parole

Ma, ragazza, sappi che hai quel vibe

Il tuo sorriso è arte

Risvegli la mia anima

Mi fai stare così bene, yeah

È un vibe

Yeah eh

Questa sarà la sola ed unica colonna sonora

Hai tutta la mia attenzione

Sei la mia sola ed unica missione

Nulla è impossibile piccola, luci camera azione!

Io sono la musica, tu sei la mia topline

[*melodia e testo, la parte principale]

Tu sei la città, io sono lo skyline [* l'orizzonte]

Io sono il film, tu sei l'highlight [* il punto/la scena saliente]

Cali su un cielo scuro, come twilight [* il crepuscolo]

Non fa che migliorare

Sei così attraente che vorrei fare una maratona* di te

[* come una maratona di serie tv / film, guardare qsa tutto d'un fiato, dall'inizio alla fine]

Non lo sai che voglio il tuo amore (sai che voglio il tuo amore)

Prima che questa notte finisca, piccola?!

Lo sai, abbiamo quel vibe, piccola (finché non sorgerà il sole)

Guardami, guardami, lo senti anche tu

Guardami, guardami, lo senti anche tu

Lo sai, abbiamo quel vibe, piccola (finché il sole non tramonterà)

Guardati, guardati, lo senti anche tu

Lo sento, è un vibe

Questo sarà il solo ed unico inno

Ho questo sesto senso, mi solletica

Anche solo tenerci per mano mi dà una scossa

Prima di te, il mio mondo era oscurità

Io sono il palco, tu sei la spotlight [* la luce dei riflettori]

Tu sei il fiume Han, Io sono il monte Nam

Non potrebbe essere più perfetto di così

Cali su un cielo scuro, come il crepuscolo

Ti ho percepitə

Sono intrappolato nel tuo mondo, sei il mio Matrix

Non lo sai che voglio il tuo amore (sai che voglio il tuo amore)

Prima che questa notte finisca, piccolə ?!

Lo sai, abbiamo quel vibe, piccolə (finché non sorgerà il sole)

Guardami, guardami, lo senti anche tu

Guardami, guardami, lo senti anche tu

Lo sai, abbiamo quel vibe, piccolə (finché il sole non tramonterà)

Guardati, guardati, lo senti anche tu

Lo sento, è un vibe

Guarda le stelle

La luna splende così brillante

Per tutta la notte

Ci illumina

E il modo in cui mi guardi (è un vibe)

Voglio continuare a provare queste sensazioni

(Sappi che hai quel vibe)

Lo sai, abbiamo quel vibe, piccolə (finché non sorgerà il sole)

Guardami, guardami, lo senti anche tu

Guardami, guardami, guardami, lo senti anche tu

Lo sai, abbiamo quel vibe, piccolə (finché il sole non tramonterà)

Guardati, guardati, lo senti anche tu

Lo sento, è un vibe

[sunsetscales]

*Intertwines my claws dubiously*

Hello anon, and others alike, Never gave me permission to give advice. I have been writing and world building for about 6 years, and I feel like I can say I'd have a few pointers.

FIRST: Pick your muse, what do you WANT want, not species, that doesn't matter yet, unless your muse is that specific species, like dragons. (okay going under the read more here for everyone's sake)

Go onto pintrist, coolors.co, go onto a free art program and start picking out some of your favorite colors, or finding some palettes you like, mess with them, blend the colors until they work together, or until they're a shade you love.

OR Find a theming you like a lot, say you like medieval/fantasy chivalry, start making a knight, paladin, etc. Figure out what they do, where they are? Are they in a generic fantasy world? Do they slay evil dragons for a living? Do they lay with dragons for a living ;3c~

Your muse can be anything you want it to be, just as long as you look at it, and slowly build up in your mind what your fursona is. Like Never, is it you? Or like me, is it a fragment of yourself that you expand upon?

From there, simply figure out what else you would like! Just go with your gut, it'll lead you better than anything else. And if you want to change it, change it! Change your species, hair color, design, markings.

You got to jump into the water with it, do what you think is cool, put as many funky colors, markings, hairstyles, and other bits you want!

If you need a reference, on FurAffinity, there are free to use fursona base refs, where a artist puts out a free to use ref base for anyone to use and try out. Just use that if you feel self conscious doodling. Or as well, artists will sell adoptable sonas for like $5 to easily $100+ (USD), you can buy one of those for your first tastes, and learn from there. As well, if you're making your sona, there are tons of color pallets on FA as well, that people post for others to use, the Furry community, whether you have a fursona or not, welcomes you :3c.

And if all of it fails, take a pokemon you like, change their colors, or give them a few extra features, bam! Fursona. Or hell, go on Puzzles and Dragons, look at their older units, pick those out for a fursona, no one plays that game anymore, no one will know.

The worst thing you'll do is scare yourself from trying, just doodle, look at funny animal videos, look at spicy images. Find inspiration from everyday things. Here we'll go through it together.

Practice: Back when I was a kid, I used to have a beach in my back yard. Dad leveled an area of forest, had a guy build a pond, imported sand. I was basically out there every day because there was a pond in my backyard of course I was.

I loved the way that the sand would form little impressions from rain water that would come down. If you didn't know, those are called Rills, the og name of my fursona, now his middle name, because I like Hesper more. So we have water, I like water formations like that. Okay what else?

Well I like the color purple and pink, and as well, I love the night time. It's spooky, and calm, and romantic. Sunsets are purple/pink-ish, so we have water and sunsets. So why not a sunset over water?

For me, I already knew my fursona was going to be a dragon, I'm world building a fantasy world, I like dragons, and I have a custom species that is almost like a dragon. So I just put him like that. But from the sunset, I got purple, wines, oranges, blues, and the theming of water, twilight, light, and whatever else anyone would associate with dusk.

So, purple/pink body, orange hair (later changed to pink), bi-pedal digitigrade dragon, has no wings, because that's a hassle to draw always. But where do I go from there?

For me, I sat down with myself, and I let it all play out like a movie, who would I be in this fantasy world? Hmm well, for first things I'd be a little magic at the least, so he'd have magic. He'd have a cool tail, I love tails, maybe the mid of his tail could split into two, because I'm genderqueer, guy and gal. As well, for me, I'm a sucker for stockings, so I want him to have stockings on his legs and arms, that are made out of his own fur.

Then came the ultimate resource! Copying someone else's design ideas <3. For me Hesper (my sona) got his muzzle pattern, where it slopes down into horns on his jaw, from some character from a gatcha I've never seen before. His horns are up down up from the mid of his head, he's got long/medium hair from me, his chest and tummy are hairy bc mine is hairy, and his eyes are blue, because blue balanced out his other colors well, and as well my eyes are blue, also water.

It's not monolithic design steps, its one at a time, treat it as such, I've only really gotten to a point where I like his design. And even then I add on some things here or there, like alt forms! Which are a great resource if you like your sona, but want something just a little bit different sometimes. Hesper himself can turn feral, or into like a werewolf from skyrim, bipedal but runs on all fours.

But just have fun! I've had like, three/four fursonas before this current one, and even the old ones, I can still use and enjoy! My first one, Wick, is my pen name, and the name I use for Drawing. Viclon (yes harhar I know Vick) is a cool character, I didn't like how I personified him though, so he needs a re-work, but he was a dragon with flowers and ivy on him, who doesn't like that? Currently Hesper. And soon enough, I want to make a sona to represent my worldbuilding! I've enjoyed myself some kitty cats as per my two feline furry bfs, so I'm picking out a big cat myself, snow leopard/lion hybrid. But as it's for my world building, I'm going to put my own spin on it, and backstory for the species, where they live in my fantasy world, what they eat, what they look like, what their colors are, etc.

Just have fun, trust your gut on what you'll like. Change your mind, re-do things, have fun!

how did you come to your sona(s)? I've been wanting to actually get into the furry community more but i have so much trouble with the sona part

great question!

So first off, for those who don’t know me well, I have a total of Four Sona’s: Never the Dragon, Reven the Dragon, Roxy the Dragon, and Lis the Moth.

NEVER THE DRAGON: He’s been around since the beginning. That’s actually me! He came into existence around 2009, but wasn’t officially a fursona til I first learned about the furry fandom in 2013. Pretty much, I said “I’m a Blue Dragon” and that’s how Never was born. He took my name, which is also Never

ROXY THE DRAGON: Is a fursona I actually designed and made for a friend, my partner at the time. Roxanne is no longer alive however, and as such I took the Dragon back to remember her with (:

REVEN THE DRAGON: Born in 2017 because I needed a mascot for a sideblog I made, and didn’t want to have it relate to my main. His colors are the Tumblr default colors, with his tail being the notification icon ;) Reven is Never backwards

LIS THE MOTH: She’s small, fluffy, and her personality is a complimentary opposite to Nevers. Her colors reflect her true name; BLISS.BMP

The first three were Dragons because I love Dragons. I made Lis the moth to specifically branch away from that tho; diversitise my portfolio. Birds, Bats, and Moths are my three favorite non-Dragon animals, and thats where I got her from

As for making your own, alas I can’t help too well 😔 Never’s a Dragon because I love them so much. It was almost a given; had I found the furry community before Never existed, he still would have been a Dragon. The most common advice I’ve seen around is “Take your personality and assign it your favorite animal” but that only goes so far. it’s like, mid advice, but alas it’s all I have 😔

Dragons and Alicorns and Political Weddings - Chapter 2 (Rated T) [My Little Pony - Princess Ember/Twilight Sparkle]

In order to better relations with the Dragon Lands, Twilight has been arranged to marry the current dragon lord, Ember. With her friends by her side, she’s excited for the big day, even if she’s nervous at the prospect of not meeting her fiancee yet. When she finally does, things seem to go well, spurning on her excitement.

At least, going well for now.

Whatever Our Souls Are Made Of - An Unusual Courtship (Rated M) [The 100 - Raven/Roan]

A decade ago, Roan was exiled from the Kingdom of Azgeda when his brother, Rapier, ascended to the throne. Roan travelled to the other side of the ocean aboard his ship, the Exiled Prince, and took on a new life as the Captain of his own pirate vessel. For ten years, Roan was content.

However when his beloved brother is lost, Roan is faced with unexpected choices, the weight of obligations and the presence of the woman who broke his heart as he returns to Azgeda and reclaims the throne.

—

In which Roan endeavours to win over his future wife, Clarke.

Waiting On The Winds Of Change To Blow - ivory, carnelian, tiger's eye, gold (Rated T) [Emelan - Briar Moss & Sandrilene fa Toren]

Briar was taken in from the streets of Summersea by Duke Vedris and raised to hold a position in his household. He’s been given many honours and opportunities, and now his match to a wealthy merchant’s daughter will give him money and connections as well. He’s grateful, really he is. But sometimes he wonders if it’s really what he wants.

“Is something the matter, Briar?” Sandry asked.

Briar sighed. “No, it’s nothing, I just…” He trailed off, not sure how to explain it without sounding ungrateful.

Sandry studied him for a moment. “Are you nervous?” she asked. “I wouldn’t have expected it of you; you’re always so confident – but this is a significant moment for you.”

“I suppose I am,” Briar said slowly. Nervous wasn’t exactly how he’d describe it, but he could work with it. “I just… wasn’t expecting this. Marriage was never really something I considered for myself – given my upbringing, you know.”

—

Briar and Daja get to know each other a little better, at Sandry's urging. But although they get along quite well, there's still something keeping them at a distance.

The Wedding Planet - Chapter 2 (Rated T) [The 100 - Octavia/Clarke]

Bounty hunter Octavia Blake has chased her latest prey, Josephine Lightbourne, all the way to the second moon of Arkadia–the last place she’d expect Josie it be, and the last place Octavia wants to visit–ARK-1002014: The Wedding Planet. There, Clarke Griffin arranges beautiful destination weddings for people from all over the galaxy, every detail provided for, right down to the spouse. Her AI-driven system has turned the ancient art of matchmaking into a commercialized, mechanized, streamlined, and extremely successful, enterprise.

Octavia’s already found and lost the great love of her life. She’s not looking to love again. But an accident, a chance meeting, and a high-stakes bet change all of her plans. Now she’ll either find her match, or spend years of her life providing fairy tales for others, while she proves that chemistry, passion, and spark can never be forced into being by a machine.

—

Octavia meets her fiancee.

With Your Name In My Throat - Chapter 2 (Rated M) [The 100 - Lexa/Clarke]

Lexa is content in her life just the way it is, until a so called “perfect match” on her friend’s matchmaking service promises to help the people she cares most about in the world. The only catch is she has to marry a perfect stranger. But Lexa can do just about anything, if it helps her friends, and there’s no way she will fall in love. Right?

wishing on city lights - Chapter 2 (Not Rated) [Spider-Man - Michelle Jones/Peter Parker]

Peter loves the city lights. Loves his work at the law firm, loves his best friend Ned, loves dancing. And he might love that sullen girl with ink-stained fingertips and fire in her steps.

Michelle loves dancing too, although she would never tell. She loves rainy days in her small apartment and hearing secrets in the halls of Brant Enterprises. She most certainly doesn't love the young lawyer with eyes like copper and honey.

But when their two company-inheriting millionaire best friends are set up for an arranged marriage, someone has to guide them through slimy speakeasies and glitzering debutante balls.

Michelle doesn't think story-book love is real. But this boy dancing in a tiny jazz club with her?

He is.

come morning light - hold on to that lullaby (Rated M) [Chronicles of Narnia - Susan/Caspian]

Seven years ago, Susan and her siblings were sent away from a war to the safety of the country side only to be thrust into another war. As the years wear on, their soldiers return from battle fewer and fewer in number, and the graves multiply overnight.

Running out of options and manpower, their last chance is proposing an alliance with the King of Telmar, a kingdom seemly just barely allied with the Witch and itching to get out from under her power.

Susan walks into the meeting with the King with Edmund at her side and little hope left in her heart, and leaves with an alliance that could turn the tide of the war - and a husband.

Hope Springs Eternal Part 1

I shivered

palpably in response to the stimulus of this auspicious winter morning as though I were a nervous acolyte on his first day of probation.

It was that benchmark event called my Birthday.

Like Christmas and Easter they have this annular ring in every sense.

Dates and their import. I was raised to have the healthiest respect for them.

A rendezvous of another kind awaited me later in the day that was seasonal in another sense.

But that just added a certain spring to my step.

Entering my eight decade on earth I dragged that motley crew of bones about me.

Like a hod carrier carting clusters of smokeless polish coal for some imperious client.

But the mind has immense powers waiting to be tapped.

A mineral rich load, a vein of resources with targeted thoughts that were the match for any prescription medicine.

Age is but a number and they can be sung in harmony with one’s universe or jarringly and at odds.

I’m a late in life poet with lines very gingerly crafted at this point in time.

My aunt Virginia who raised me when my mother died started the revolution in my thinking.

“Your mind should be a diary.

Always take note of what’s happening around you and when it happened.

Time, dates, everything.

It always comes in useful.”

She said in that nuanced tonic sol fa accent of hers.

Virginia instilled in me this most functional regard for which I am eternally grateful.

Her words about dates and time echoed continually through the recesses of mind to my ultimate benefit.

I had the required notepad and pen at hand to record anything I could sculpt into a creative ode.

As of yet

a title eluded me but maybe something lustrous, radiant romantic would be apt.

Quite a lot has been composed already much to my surprise.

Virginia’s advice and the embryonic epic planted fertile shoots in my head as I entered the kitchen.

I called it my domain.

Structured in an algebraic fashion with proximity dovetailing elegance it resembled a gallery.

The sink and shrouded tap heads my first port of call.

Stooping over archly I filled a gleaming white plastic jug kettle for that morale boosting first cup of tea.

As I sipped my tea the insights Virginia kindly bequeathed started flooding back.

Those condensed pearls of wisdom regarding time and it’s ambience.

Optimism and cheer were her other passions.

As well as paying attention.

“Focus on your environment. There is joy in abundance.” Virginia opined.

“A treasure trove awaits for those who concentrate.” She said.

“Where there is joy there’s hope.

Time and hope are intertwined.”

Never losing a chance to stress matters time-related.

Typical Virginia logic.

I’m taking it more seriously now as my respect for that statute of limitations called life expectancy approaches.

This lady’s pointers were manfully ingested as my tea stained cup wobbled in my right hand with it’s rivulet of veins.

The tea leaves scattered wildly in that microcosm of a drinking vessel had a fleeting fascination for me.

But as I scanned my surroundings with the eye of a keyhole surgeon I couldn’t help but notice something else.

The kaleidoscope of colour filling the french panel window in front of the kitchen sink.

Window drabness red carded with the zeal of a strict umpire dismissing an offending player.

My intuition told me to brace myself for events both surprising and anticipated .

This afternoon’s engagement is to the forefront of my mind and for good reason.

Think I’ll leave the cell phone behind.

Or did I hear it go off?

My device was of the more crowded cumbersome type with stubborn square buttons that even the more dexterous hand would find difficult to navigate.

The fingers slipped involuntarily like I sometimes did on those treacherous black ice patches.

“It’ll wait. Can’t really be that important.” I said to myself.

It was one of those phones that emitted this discordant buzz when some arrant nuisance rings at the most inopportune time which is often.

“No … face the morning and it’s canvas of brittle prospect.” Speaking with eloquent pride to myself, Hamilton Lake.

Walking outside on this my 78th birthday could be seen as an obstacle course.

I’ve always had a thing about posture.

The feet must be properly positioned and ready for anything unexpected.

The steps from my house could be awkward and angular with hidden crevices.

Those rugged pockmarks gouged out by the chisel of that tyrant called the elements.

The inherent beauty of garden plants, on the other hand,

purged whatever sluggishness there was in my frame.

Their spectral tint and gravity defying droop gave my eyes an optic fillip.

Green border shrubs and yellow rose petals bore a magic that defied description.

Albeit with telltale winter stains.

But the mindfulness of gait and knowing that slippage could be fatal moderated my enthusiasm about my settings.

Onto the yard and then the slope towards town with a propensity for the occasional wobble notwithstanding.

A downward denouement laced with grit and optimism.

The verges on the fringe of each footpath were covered with tufts of flickering grass cavorting about in a light south east breeze.

Haywire brambles whose overlapping tentacles were embedded in every mound or patch.

Star shaped brown leaves as veiled cover for those sharp spines sticking out.

The bane of every bulging blood vessel.

An ice clad descent that can either capsize or upend even the most determined stride.

Ice that most deceptive gloss that far too easily masks it’s latent perils.

Irrespective I continued unabashed.

The heart, portent of fragility, bruising barometer of one’s twilight moment can be an ally.

A motivator of noble human impulse.

My rainbow tipped walking stick was my elder compass.

A bearing locator for crazy paving pavement slabs.

Those structures fractured by peculiarities of sudden temperature with their plummets and summits!

But focus though impaired was motivated by a stoic forbearance imbued with fire in the soul.

Virginia’s velvet toned voice enjoined on us at home to watch the clouds.

The wispy contours, greyed over forms, wooly frills and outlines drifting overhead.

She also warned of their penchant for unleashing torrents which could spoil the daily strolls of even the most ernest of ramblers.

Today the clouds weaved their way across that azure blue path called the sky.

Curiously enough the self same clouds added to their repertoire by the graceful skirting of rooftops and faraway rock formations on the outskirts of town.

“Clouds are a heavenly canvas. A floating exhibit of the firmament.

They inspire poets, works of art.” Virginia said.

They were doing just that in my case with aplomb.

The planned mysterious link up was never lost sight of amid Virginia’s majestic musings.

“Use your imagination or your imagination will use you. The borders between make belief and the real world must always be maintained.

Imaginings of every kind can be triggered by just about anything familiar.

They can assume a life of their own.”

Wonderful counsel from a wonderful woman.

Virginia, however, unlike some philosophers had a marvelous sense of humor but abhorred the canned, corny variety.

Although such humor couldn’t always be avoided I was mindful of her sensitivity on the subject.

Meticulously taking out that pad again I scribbled a few more lines.

It’s beginning to fill up.

The only thing that remains is to have someone to dedicate it to.

The human eye, a person’s best camera turned to the leach like ivy carpet which clung with tenacity to the grey grained stone wall narrowly to my right.

Preserving their corporeal integrity and playing their part while going largely unobserved.

Fir trees, enclosed by pavement railings and gardens had an overwhelming stillness about them.

An unyielding rooted presence.

They too are age defiant when cultivated and getting the right supports.

These trees act as filters for the dust, smoke and fumed manifestations of the modern manufacturer.

Urban heat island effect offset and mitigated.

All these details forensically noted.

A sudden wakening ensued.

“Hi there, Hamilton. Lovely morning for a stroll.”

My inner space rightly interrupted for a different reality.

“Maybe we’ll meet later at one of your favourite spots or a coffee shop.”

Local teens, Sonia and Winfred with whom I regularly crossed paths and swopped pleasantries of a deeper heartfelt kind.

They alighted from their bicycles

“It’s your birthday today isn’t it?

You’d put people half your age and mine to shame.” The young lady Sonia said.

Winfred her boyfriend agreed.

“Such generosity I rarely encountered from my own group.” I thought to myself.

Sonia, a vibrant vivacious youth whose tactful airborne words shone as brightly as her arched angelic face.

Winfred, her boyfriend had a slightly bulging chin and matted haired that looked as if it had been constantly drenched.

His was a handsomeness harrowed out by high jinx and crack of dawn capers.

After a friendly departure this couple dashed off with a daring and delight so dirigere of the young.

As well as the young at heart.

The first one was my first Pathfinder character, Ifrit Barbarian named Vatra Grra from a campaign we call “Twilight Vanguard”

Second one is another pic of Bowser Saeyung, a Pokemon Breeder played in a Chambers and Charizard campaign called “Pokemon: The Forces Above/The Forces Below”. I’m in Above

And lastly is Cankune, a kitsune samurai that replaced Vatra after she was semi-kidnapped by her evil dad.

Those condensed pearls of wisdom regarding time and it’s ambience.

Optimism and cheer were her other passions.

As well as paying attention.

“Focus on your environment. There is joy in abundance.” Virginia opined.

“A treasure trove awaits for those who concentrate.” She said.

“Where there is joy there’s hope.

Time and hope are intertwined.”

Never losing a chance to stress matters time-related.

Typical Virginia logic.

I’m taking it more seriously now as my respect for that statute of limitations called life expectancy approaches.

This lady’s pointers were manfully ingested as my tea stained cup wobbled in my right hand with it's rivulet of veins.

The tea leaves scattered wildly in that microcosm of a drinking vessel had a fleeting fascination for me.

But as I scanned my surroundings with the eye of a keyhole surgeon I couldn't help but notice something else.

The kaleidoscope of colour filling the french panel window in front of the kitchen sink.

Window drabness red carded with the zeal of a strict umpire dismissing an offending player.

My intuition told me to brace myself for events both surprising and anticipated .

This afternoon’s engagement is to the forefront of my mind and for good reason.

Think I’ll leave the cell phone behind.

Or did I hear it go off?

My device was of the more crowded cumbersome type with stubborn square buttons that even the more dexterous hand would find difficult to navigate.

The fingers slipped involuntarily like I sometimes did on those treacherous black ice patches.

“It’ll wait. Can’t really be that important.” I said to myself.

It was one of those phones that emitted this discordant buzz when some arrant nuisance rings at the most inopportune time which is often.

“No … face the morning and it’s canvas of brittle prospect.” Speaking with eloquent pride to myself, Hamilton Lake.

Walking outside on this my 78th birthday could be seen as an obstacle course.

I've always had a thing about posture.

The feet must be properly positioned and ready for anything unexpected.

The steps from my house could be awkward and angular with hidden crevices.

Those rugged pockmarks gouged out by the chisel of that tyrant called the elements.

The inherent beauty of garden plants, on the other hand,

purged whatever sluggishness there was in my frame.

Their spectral tint and gravity defying droop gave my eyes an optic fillip.

Green border shrubs and yellow rose petals bore a magic that defied description.

Albeit with telltale winter stains.

But the mindfulness of gait and knowing that slippage could be fatal moderated my enthusiasm about my settings.

Onto the yard and then the slope towards town with a propensity for the occasional wobble notwithstanding.

A downward denouement laced with grit and optimism.

The verges on the fringe of each footpath were covered with tufts of flickering grass cavorting about in a light south east breeze.

Haywire brambles whose overlapping tentacles were embedded in every mound or patch.

Star shaped brown leaves as veiled cover for those sharp spines sticking out.

The bane of every bulging blood vessel.

An ice clad descent that can either capsize or upend even the most determined stride.

Ice that most deceptive gloss that far too easily masks it’s latent perils.

Irrespective I continued unabashed.

The heart, portent of fragility, bruising barometer of one’s twilight moment can be an ally.

A motivator of noble human impulse.

My rainbow tipped walking stick was my elder compass.

A bearing locator for crazy paving pavement slabs.

Those structures fractured by peculiarities of sudden temperature with their plummets and summits!

But focus though impaired was motivated by a stoic forbearance imbued with fire in the soul.

Virginia’s velvet toned voice enjoined on us at home to watch the clouds.

The wispy contours, greyed over forms, wooly frills and outlines drifting overhead.

She also warned of their penchant for unleashing torrents which could spoil the daily strolls of even the most ernest of ramblers.

Today the clouds weaved their way across that azure blue path called the sky.

Curiously enough the self same clouds added to their repertoire by the graceful skirting of rooftops and faraway rock formations on the outskirts of town.

“Clouds are a heavenly canvas. A floating exhibit of the firmament.

They inspire poets, works of art.” Virginia said.

They were doing just that in my case with aplomb.

The planned mysterious link up was never lost sight of amid Virginia’s majestic musings.

“Use your imagination or your imagination will use you. The borders between make belief and the real world must always be maintained.

Imaginings of every kind can be triggered by just about anything familiar.

They can assume a life of their own.”

Wonderful counsel from a wonderful woman.

Virginia, however, unlike some philosophers had a marvelous sense of humor but abhorred the canned, corny variety.

Although such humor couldn't always be avoided I was mindful of her sensitivity on the subject.

Meticulously taking out that pad again I scribbled a few more lines.

It’s beginning to fill up.

The only thing that remains is to have someone to dedicate it to.

The human eye, a person’s best camera turned to the leach like ivy carpet which clung with tenacity to the grey grained stone wall narrowly to my right.

Preserving their corporeal integrity and playing their part while going largely unobserved.

Fir trees, enclosed by pavement railings and gardens had an overwhelming stillness about them.

An unyielding rooted presence.

They too are age defiant when cultivated and getting the right supports.

These trees act as filters for the dust, smoke and fumed manifestations of the modern manufacturer.

Urban heat island effect offset and mitigated.

All these details forensically noted.

A sudden wakening ensued.

“Hi there, Hamilton. Lovely morning for a stroll.”

My inner space rightly interrupted for a different reality.

“Maybe we’ll meet later at one of your favourite spots or a coffee shop.”

Local teens, Sonia and Winfred with whom I regularly crossed paths and swopped pleasantries of a deeper heartfelt kind.

They alighted from their bicycles

“It’s your birthday today isn’t it?

You’d put people half your age and mine to shame.” The young lady Sonia said.

Winfred her boyfriend agreed.

“Such generosity I rarely encountered from my own group.” I thought to myself.

Sonia, a vibrant vivacious youth whose tactful airborne words shone as brightly as her arched angelic face.

Winfred, her boyfriend had a slightly bulging chin and matted haired that looked as if it had been constantly drenched.

His was a handsomeness harrowed out by high jinx and crack of dawn capers.

After a friendly departure this couple dashed off with a daring and delight so dirigere of the young.

As well as the young at heart.
