A Warrior's Tear
"A warrior's tears are never heard..."
A warrior's tears are never heard, not even a drop falls upon his face.
The oceans do not hear his cry, nor does the sun dare give light to his face. The desert gives him no rest, and the night gives him no joy...
A heart full of emptiness not even the vastness of space can fill. O weary is his soul his task yet not complete, a destination a land of yonder awaits, what treasures will his heart find.

The Fish Song
The room didn’t smell like disinfectants. Its fragrance seemed light and not overbearing. A soft mixture of lavender and mint permeated the space. No beeping machines or any tubes hooked up to four-year-old Kaleeka. Her cacao skin seemed to glow from the light over her head. The family, save for one and the doctors and nurses exited the room like a trail of saints showing their last vestiges of regard.
