The Muse in the Darkened Path. Top Story - January 2026.
Soft path beneath hard ground ‎Greenery wrapped in tender leaves ‎The music of nature all around ‎Withered twigs rhyming with the breeze ‎ ‎I sought a night when the moon was bright, ‎In a day when the sun was caught. ‎Light was fought with that girl's naught ‎To see if my heart was wrought or not? ‎ ‎I see a cadaver deep inside ‎Waking from a long nap after that sight ‎Her presence leaves me with nowhere to hide ‎Soaring atop the silence, like a drifting kite ‎ ‎The first sight of her played a symphony upon my heartstrings ‎Dreams dispersed in a manic daze ‎As leaves shed over a thousand springs ‎That manic moment, gazing at her pure and pristine image ‎ ‎We could fly forever and still find no way ‎The darkened path won't let me flee too far away ‎She stands quite, the moment I stray ‎I faltered at the first calm ray ‎ ‎It was a wonder that met the eyes ‎It was a severance that touched the soul ‎Light stolen from the tethered skies ‎The depth of her void, made the circle whole ‎ ‎

The Heat Grid
Naked corners glow Thermal bridging casts a spell Warm lines intersect K.B. Silver I am fascinated by the many ways physical laws and processes impact our lives, and create the wonderful effects we see all around us. Thermal Bridging is usually associated with heat loss from structures, but the physical principle goes far beyond.

To Only Scratch the Surface
There is a mountain, and there is a field. There is a rose, and there is humankind. * Which is more beautiful? The scented wild rose or a field of wheat?
