As the pools of information
One day became tainted.
It became something of a chore,
Actively seeking the truth.
And so many gave up the fight,
Figuring there was no use.
For it was only getting harder

Break down (the shadow season) - A New Poem
On the verge…
Both lost and found.
Emotions surge…

And yet alluring.
Offering lies
That seem enduring.
And there he was
Touched by these flames
Rewriting rules
He thought could not...
