My Dear Sister,

Your picture in the drawer
hidden years from my sight
Did you too ever wonder or
think of me in the night

Not one time playing together
Not ever did we share a morsel
Not a park did we ever visit
Nor a letter shared by parcel

My thoughts scatter with now age
of the what-if's and what-evers
My humble hearts love does not
strive in vain to be so clever

What is it that you thought
when they kept us far apart
Was you like I dear sister
so lost alone in the dark

Did you fear the unknows
and wish the comfort of my charm
Did you sister, think of me too
praying that I keep far from harm

Never a fight to call you bad sister
Not one time did I hold your hand
though I think of you often
why haven't I searched of you
through out the land

DEAR PENPAL PEOPLE, dream:>

let them those
of those of them
of the them those of the they
of the may
of the unknown knowns of the unknown
of them those of the known unknowns of the knows
of the known unknows
of the unknown knows
to take you------
Away

wherever
whenever
however
in an ever
of the evers
even them those of them those of the nevers
just take you------
Away
------------
So you say

                                                  ------ravenfeels
In the Danube’s endless flow,
Beneath the dark sky’s gentle glow,
A little dove soars high above,
Carrying whispers of a love unknown.
There’s a secret only the wind bestows,
Where beauty ascends to meet its god,
A hidden place where the heart unknows,
Yet longs to rest, though paths are flawed.

Listen, dear child, spread your wings,
No hands will break them, nor silence your song.
But tread with care, for shadows creep,
And predators prowl where trust belongs.

You won’t be lost, nor walk alone,
For somewhere waits a place called home.

— The End —
