> Though the ink is running dry, we still insist to write upon the sky

> Oh, this spacious sky

> Is not poetry enough for our swelling lungs

> We must write a thousand songs to carry on our tongues

> Our thoughts will burn so bright we can white the stars out from the sky at night

> And we wonder if our love will endure the certain pain

> And if this land can withstand the endless strain of our hunger

Verses from Leonard Cohen, “Anthem”

Ah, the wars they will be fought again

The holy dove, she will be caught again

Bought and sold, and bought again

The dove is never free

 

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering

There is a crack, a crack in everything

That's how the light gets in

What a wonderful collection of drabbles! I really enjoyed your way of writing. It’s difficult to choose a favourite, but perhaps it’s Teen spirit (names of our own) with a fascinating plot idea. And your silvergifting piece was utterly heartbreaking. And the last one, wow.
