as this Broken Vow
rings out Across The Universe
my Dream turns to
Ashes And Wine in the
blink of an Imaginary eye
Mercy frozen in time
Do You Feel the ravages of
my heart's Lament?
do you fear The Great Divide?
the tide may rise, yet the
Lighthouse shall draw you
safely in on your Rainbow High
washing away every Stepping Stone
previously arranged
the only path
a Sweet Sacrifice
to Lose Control on
your journey is to waste
Precious Time
yet, I Will Not Bow
I will not Fade Away
living on boiling Quicksand
until Finally, My Savior spirits me away
but only to the Otherside
of this sand-sucking sea
I will have to
keep saving me
K.B. Silver

Melusians and Eidruian Lions
Name: Melusian Physical Characteristics: Two multi-finned tails, gills and lungs that allow breathing under water and on land. Melusians come in every color of sand and shell from powdery white, rusty red, to volcanic black, with hair in every color found under the sea. Their skin is thick and rubbery, and their eyes have slit pupils, some of the few tells when their fins have been converted to legs.
