Beyond, Beholding
Everytime i step on the ground the sound made wants to make a noise desiring to be heard if volume was loud enough to sense ears hearing as it wants to exist to be a force meant to be known by the recognition of dispute and the cause that is rival to light that is how God made darkness misunderstood being summoned by its own incomprehension because their was no time to validate evil. As the light shines awaited by the end as love has not met with unreachable places with no destination how could fate seal itself when theres nothing to please it without a savior because like God it is eternal.
