I can't help it
I love the broken ones
The ones who
Need the most patching up
The ones who
Never have been loved.
And maybe I see a part of me in them
The missing piece, always trying to fit in
The shattered heart
Hungry for a home
No, you're not alone.

Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king."

“Sail from Havens Grey
Caught up on the wind and blown away
Close your eyes on the Shadowlands
I know you will open them again in the endless day
Of a love that dawns beyond the Havens Grey

Down from the door where it began
Out of the rain, into the sun
Follow it on and on and on
Keep to the road through the rain
Is there a There and Back Again?”
- Andrew Peterson

In a city underground
All broken bits and pieces of the past

On the surface of the mound

We’re sailing in the storms
This is harder than we dreamed

At the end of all my faith, till the end of all my days
When I forget my name, remind me.”

I will always be with you
Even to the end

I already love you
I hold it in mine
So you can rest easy…”

Who wandered the forest, abandoned
And he heard in the leaves
And behind every tree
The sound of a secret companion following

Somewhere there’s a King
Who will love you forever
And nothing in the world
Could ever come between you…”

[Thylacina]

Where in this wide world can man find nobility without pride, friendship without envy, or beauty without vanity? Here, where grace is laced with muscle, and strength by gentleness confined. He serves without servility; he has fought without enmity. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent; there is nothing so quick, nothing more patient. England’s past has been borne on his back. All our history is his industry. We are his heirs, he our inheritance. Ladies and Gentlemen – the Horse!

"Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no tomorrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace." - Oscar Wilde

[Thylacina]

Since trifles make the sum of human things
And half our misery from our foilbles spring
Since life's best joys consist of peace and ease
And although but few can save or serve yet all may please
Oh let the ungentle spirit learn from hence
A small unkindness is a great offence
Large bounties to bestow we wish in vain
But all may shun the guilt of giving pain.

- Hannah More

[Thylacina]

Round-footed, short jointed, fetlocks shag and long,
Broad chest, full eye, small head and nostril wide,
High crest, short ears, straight legs, and passing strong,
Thin mane, thick tail, broad buttock, tender hide:
Look what a horse should have, he did not lack,
Save a proud rider on so proud a back.

Venus and Adonis
William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616)
