The slightest brush of melancholy tinges the evening: that time of day when ghosts awaken and memories stir; that time of day when thousands of lives lived lean into now. Where are you, bright eyed lover? I need a gentle boost to lift me above this roar of silence, this emptiness that fills the twilight. Come to me. Sing me songs until smiles return and we will smile together.    ~mce

And speak in that private language...
