.....Hiding carefully in the darkest patch of forever's shadow is where the lost krow perches, looking out. How she longs to be able to leave behind the black shreds of the past as if they were simply ashes to be brushed off the skin. But she is stained. Stained forever with a black stench, like death, it clings to her and sinks into her bones. Never again will she be whole. Never again will she be pure. Tainted like the memories she dwells on, there in the place where time has no meaning. Forever is all-emcompacing; today, tomorrow, and yesterday. It is her home now. The mind searches endlessly to find justification for the past, present, and future but in the end it will never be satisfied. That is forever's shadow-- a place where endless thoughts come together. This is the krow's sanctuary.
