Favorite Quote:
The thing about a story is that you dream it as you tell it, hoping that others might dream along with you, and in this way memory, imagination, and language combine to make spirits in the head.
--Tim O'Brien


Wall of branches, wall of dirt.

Wall of ashes, singed and burnt.

Spine of thick entangled vines,

Remnants as time goes by.


Abandoned wood, abandoned nails.

Abandoned lives and forgotten tales.

Swaying trees and shifting grass,

All vanished as they came to pass.


Empty silence, empty song.

Empty home of empty soul.

Music sung for centuries,

Lost fragmented memories.


Unknown people, unknown nation.

Unknown culture situation.

Here were lost the hidden glories,

Forest of forgotten stories.
