Life finds its reposewhere shadows play,A well of serene momentsconspiratorially hidden away.Its secretive waters change coloursships riding the waves sway Belief, like a fearless adventurer,ascends a spiral stair to the skies,taking the heart where the mind fearsFaith unfurls its wings and dares to rise.Atop the tower, whispers weave a spell,A fabric of hope, where stars … Continue reading The Well of Existence

But in those perilous corridors, protection requires an army—one I … Continue reading Self-flagellation
