A bit of advice

From me to you

Is don't go wasting

The time they give to you

Hold them close and love them fair

Don't be afraid to show how you care

Life has a habit

Of washing away

The simple pleasures

We enjoy day after day

Find a way to keep them close to your heart

Find a way to love life's smallest of parts.

The “let’s #escapril” server is rebranding. Hold on a few more hours, adventures. The Guild will be open soon.

[Image ID: The graphic’s background has a purple, blue, and pink gradient color and a floral pattern. A brown skinned hand extends from the bottom of the graphic with golden nails and a butterfly in their hand. The butterfly’s wing colors are a purple, pink, and blue gradient. Behind is a butterfly is a golden circle interconnected by lines. Above the hand and butterfly is two sets of text, one in gold and one in black. The gold text reads “You feel the weight leave your pen / your words becoming lighter as the faint images of long-missed companions / fill your mind. / Something is changing...but what?” The black text reads, “It’s dangerous to write alone — take this!” Both sets of text around by gold borders on the top left of the graphic!”]

Nocturnal Animal

Your love is a nocturnal animal

Eyes too big, mouth too wide

Soaking in all the shadows of my mind

Your love is a nocturnal animal

Hunting, harrowed, dark as pitch

A sinful treasure that you know I miss;

But that's the problem I have with it:

It only comes out at night.

Eavesdrop

I would tap at your door but it's shut so firmly

No one's opening that.

I could press my ear to your outer limits

Listenlistenlisten

Watching all the shadows moving;

But you have shut the door--

And I don't know if what moves there

Will be just another ghost to bear.

I ache for pieces of you, I ache to tap the door:

Not today, I bargain.

Not today.
