I found a broken body on the steps, with shattered wings and feathers all awry. I found his broken body on the steps, but where shall I look for his broken mind? A broken shadow tangled in the nets, it beats and flutters, trying hard to fly. A crippled flower captured in the nets, but all that makes a man was left behind. Wild beasts attack and suffer no regrets, no misty teardrops and no whispered sigh. How would a beast know ought of soft regret when pity runs through men like watered wine? A wine-red stain upon the broken steps, a shattered shadowed beast that I can’t find. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

How would a beast know ought of soft regret when pity runs through men like watered wine? This is just awesome. I don't like to use that word, it almost sounds cliche, but this is really just awesome.  |

This is wonderful and amazing and everything else good! *To see the world in a grain of sand, and heaven in a wild flower...Hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour...* |
