of the crickets,
And joined the crying of each falling dying
flake of snow,
Once I spoke the language of the flowers.
(Forgotten Language)

So come and walk awhile with me and share the twisting trails and wonderous worlds Ive known. But this bridge will only take you halfway there. The last few steps you have to take alone.
