From far away, a light birdchirp echoes through the esplanade. A balmy summer breeze billows through, lightly rustling every blade of grass; every leaf in its wake. The sun has set; the heavily humid bursts of light stored away for the day. Lanterns are lit, and the soft amber glows try to gently mask the silent darkness. Long shadows obfuscate the details of the beautiful gardenlands, yet they only seem to enhance its magnificence with mystery. Somewhere close by, a shishi-odoshi lightly knocks the stone rhythmically, providing a sense of calm and pleasant interruption to the tranquility.
It seems very long ago to each one; time moving so slowly as to appear intransigent. A forever ago since he had last seen the embodiment of beauty in her face; and she, the protective compassion in his. Inaudibly, in their isolated worlds apart, each begin to cry for one another. He covers his hand over his mouth, to stop his lips from trembling; she presses her hands over her face, lessening the sobs she cannot control tearing from her throat. Tears slowly glide down their faces; livid red lids blinking furiously, blinking their existence away. Her weeping mars the still of the night, as their sorrow churns forth; unable to contain it any longer, they let go, unabashed.

Isn’t that love?
Thanks for actually coming back! As you can see, this website has finally been treated to a makeover. It really did need it—maybe not visually, but with the codebase, definitely—so please bear with me as I get things refreshed.
The next major step is to reskin the blog the same as the site… and add some final touches to the copy… and add more rotating images… and anything else I think of… hopefully it will all be finished soon!
