The house was empty without her. The kitchen was robbed of laughter. Our room had stolen comfort. Nothing was the same. She was my everything.

When Johnny first put that seed in the ground, when he first covered it with soil and gave it water, he had no idea how big it would become.

never tempt fate,

when you’re climbing a steep mountain, alone,

the sky is still an aura of black and blue swirls

with dots of stars twinkling in the dead of night,

Never tempt fate.

Don’t talk about your wins

For you will lose.

Don’t dive deep into riches

Or they will vanish.

Fate will strike down

The silence that once spread

in the deepest of winter, is ever so often

broken.

Hear the robin's hope

now, unfurling faintly on a frozen breeze.
