UNFOLDING

And so it’s fall again

Winter is coming fast

But solstice has resided in me

Ever since you left.

I never saw the spring

The winter slipped away

Now the leaves are gold again

And I’m stuck here in this fray.

I’m trying to touch the sun

I’m trying to heal my heart

But every time I reach to far,

I simply fall apart.

There was no grandiose goodbye

No echo of angels singing

You left without a word or sound,

And I can’t stop this reeling.

So I’ll keep reaching for the sun

I promise you I’ll fight.

I know if I but open my eyes

God will give me light.

My arms are open to the sky

The unfolding has begun

I will give most everything

Until my battles won.

So send in angels flying

To give my soul a rest

Carry me upon their wings

Their silken threads my nest.

Until at last! I feel the sun

Warm and soft upon my face

And I can set forth from there

Full of benevolence…

Full of Grace.

Hails to you, how are you

I'm rising up!

Soon my Demons will return and I will cause some havoc!

In a world veiled in shadows, where malevolence held an unyielding grip on the hearts of its inhabitants, a lone soul emerged, driven by an unwavering purpose – to liberate the world from the suffocating clutches of the ominous darkness. This valiant protagonist, named Elysia, possessed a unique blend of courage and compassion that set her apart in a realm tainted by despair.

Elysia, born in a small village nestled between towering mountains, discovered her extraordinary abilities at a young age. A mysterious force guided her, hinting at a destiny intertwined with the fate of the entire world. As she matured, tales of a malevolent force spreading its tendrils across nations reached her ears. A shadowy entity known as Moros, the embodiment of all that was sinister, had ensnared the minds of rulers, manipulating them to sow discord and chaos.

Undeterred by the enormity of the task that lay ahead, Elysia embarked on a perilous journey. Along the way, she encountered a diverse array of allies, each with their own tragic stories of loss and oppression. A skilled archer named Aric, scarred by the tyranny that had befallen his homeland, joined Elysia's quest. Together with Althea, a brilliant mage seeking redemption for past misdeeds, and Kael, a steadfast warrior driven by a sense of duty, they formed an unbreakable fellowship.

Their journey led them through desolate landscapes and treacherous terrains, where they faced daunting challenges designed by Moros to test their mettle. The group's bond grew stronger with each trial, forged in the crucible of adversity. Elysia's innate ability to inspire hope became a beacon that illuminated the darkest corners of the world.

As they approached the heart of Moros's malevolence, the group discovered ancient prophecies foretelling the rise of a chosen one who would wield a weapon capable of shattering the chains that bound the world. Elysia realized that she bore the mark of this chosen one and that her destiny was intertwined with the prophesied liberation.

The climactic confrontation unfolded in a realm tainted by Moros's corruption. The air crackled with dark energy as the group faced legions of twisted creatures, manifestations of Moros's malevolent will. Elysia, wielding the fabled Celestial Blade, confronted Moros in a battle that transcended the physical realm. It was a clash of wills, a contest between the undying darkness and the unwavering light of hope.

In the midst of the fierce struggle, Elysia's allies fought bravely to sever the tendrils of Moros's influence that ensnared the minds of those they sought to liberate. The battle raged on, teetering on the brink of despair, until Elysia tapped into the true power of her destiny. A surge of radiant energy enveloped her, and with a resolute cry, she unleashed the Celestial Blade's power, shattering Moros's hold on the world.

The darkness receded, replaced by the warm glow of a rejuvenated world. Nations once torn apart by strife now stood united, and the scars of oppression began to heal. Elysia and her companions, weary yet triumphant, witnessed the dawning of a new era. The people, once shackled by fear, now embraced a future filled with the promise of freedom and harmony.

As the sun set on the horizon, casting its golden rays upon the revitalized land, Elysia stood as a symbol of resilience and the indomitable spirit that could overcome even the darkest of evils. The tale of her epic journey echoed through generations, a testament to the enduring power of hope and the capacity for individuals to change the course of history.

No one rejoices more in revenge than women, wrote Juvenal. Women do most delight in revenge, wrote Sir Thomas Browne. Sweet is revenge, especially to women, wrote Lord Byron. And I say, I wonder why, boys. I wonder why.

“Use your gifts and your talents to greatest possible effect while you can. Spread joy wherever possible. Laugh at jokes. Tell jokes. Make puns and bugger the embuggerances. Read books. Read my books. You might like them. You might find something else you like even more than them. Look for these things in life.

Question authority. Champion good causes. Speak out against injustice. Do not tolerate bullies or bigots or racists or anti-intellectuals or the narrow-minded. Use your education to challenge them. Broaden their perspectives. Make the world you interface with a happier place.

These are your choices. Choices you have been fortunate to have been given, so don’t waste them while you have them. Don’t look back in years to come and wish you had grasped a fleeting opportunity. Grasp it now with both hands, Live. Strive. Love.”

One of the greatest compliments I've ever received is that I resemble Sam Vimes.

Mind how you go.
