(Peak into the middle of a story I've been working on) i think i found out i have nothing in the place. She carefully placed her footing as she worked her way edging closer to the center of the ravine. Every time she glanced up, she'd see the spellbinding light gleaming, callling from the center. She must reach it alive, telling herself everytime her footing slipped, "i must not let this beat me, for I did not struggle this far, to make it and not succeed. There's not a greater reason to not quit than the punishment of living after quitting. Great inspiration to keep moving".. Her thoughts trailed off. Somewhere farther than she'd have liked them to..

With the last embers of a gloing sun preaching upon the landscape kissing her skin one last time before the moon took it's timely place upon the black velvet night sky soon to follow.. Grapsing the tattered page in which were written her souls echo's of words she only could feel. The words had a way about them, their sound - graceful in such a way it made her mind sing.. ~ "You carve poems upon my skin, in languages I have never known.
