Favorite Quote:
"I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go."
Theodore Roethke, "The Waking"


Voices in the dark,
yet silence in the daylight.
There is faith in pain,
yet cataclysm in hope.

Distant, seems the end,
of the trials and triumphs.
For some, it was close it hand;
looming for others.

This is for the lost;
those who haven't found themselves.
This is for the gone;
those who never had the chance.

This is for unwritten lives.


The author's comments:
Well, I was on tumblr one day, and I saw a prompt to write about your URL. I had always wanted to explain what mine meant, so I jumped at the chance. Unwritten lives, to me, is for the free-spirited, those who don't know who they are, and also remembering those who have passed on.
