"The Myth of the Living Village"
Long ago, the Village was not a place but a heartbeat. It lived wherever people gathered to share water, wisdom, or warmth around a common fire. But as great storms came and seasons grew uncertain, the people drifted apart.

Fewer dreams remain,

I am disappearing
as my soul is comes alive
forgiveness is like a key
that fits like a well-worn shoe
Heaven surrounds me now
Her Light is curious
Faith is a fuel
that challenges the Dark
I'm falling
