Thud, Thud, Thud.
My eerie footfalls,
echo through the empty halls.
My heart palpitates with anticipation
Expecting to see someone, anyone, again
As I turn the endless corners.
Once friends, now foreigners,
My heart jumps, "There they are!"
They are close, yet they are far.
Ghostly shadows from my transient past,
Of the friends I thought would forever last.
Silly me, Silly I
I say "Hello," and they hollowly reply,
"Goodbye."

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
