I've been here for a while. I've come and gone, like the leaves that grow from the trees and fall off when the seasons change. I've been born, I've lived and I've become bare. But I've been here always, in body or spirit...
It won't change. I plan to stay for a long while. I wish to know more of you, know your stories. My mind drinks of your words, yearns to learn things that I've never heard. Distant places, lives before the Forest, our Gods, your families, friends and lovers. You might not realize, those who say they're are alone, so very alone in our Forest. For those who call and are not answered..you who thinks we will run to you at hearing your cries of isolation..you must take the first step. You're not so alone here...
Like the pebbles in the River of Tears, we have been smoothed out to let the water flow gracefully, we have been molded into one another. Some may still stick out in jagged shapes, bent on standing out...I cannot shape you myself, I cannot reach a heart that wishes to not be touched. I wouldn't want to anyway, not by force. I only hope you will come to accept what we are, who we are. What we could mean to you..
This place..I believe we take it for granted. We all want to stand out, be unique and the only one of our kind. By everyone standing out, we all are the same. No two are alike, yet we still bicker like children. What is wrong with simplicity...what happened to love..
It's getting early in the day, I must sleep now, I can't sleep at night anymore...
