How can I expect
mercy and respect
in the face of such
overwhelming disconnect
πβ€οΈβπ₯π
You are me
we became one
I cannot blame you
for what I have become
πβ€οΈβπ₯π
We pull and tug
against the strands
like tangled chains
wrapped around a stand
πβ€οΈβπ₯π
Itβs only once we give up
our prideful pulling
taking our time
reverse the effort, pushing
πβ€οΈβπ₯π
When I accept
that you need help
and you give me time
to find myself
πβ€οΈβπ₯π
We are unbound
coming together in bliss
this pair stronger
than either ever was

Harmonian Isle
The ancient tower known to the people of Xeocun as Harmonian Island is identical to others found all across Fractallus. The towers form a matrix of sorts, invisible waves of cyber connectivity meet and form a web of connections that envelop the planet in a remotely accessible field of electronic information and power for those with the equipment to access it.

Choose Your Own Adventure: St Helena Station
*****Preface***** I have been obsessed with Choose Your Own Adventure stories since I was a kid. I credit them with my love of reading and writing. I've been struggling to get my own kids to embrace words the same way I have but they love video games and our occasional Dungeon's and Dragon's game... which gave me an idea. I'll write an interactive story. So far its working; my middle son loves it and can't wait for the next section to come out.

This was so beautiful! Everything came together perfectly.
What a great piece. That first stanza hits really hard. And then the rest feels so deep and authentic. Amazing job!
