Ribbons of sun light stream through the glass window.
Echoes of happy laughter drift through the rafters.
Wafts of glorious aromas race through her nostrils.
Tears of sorrow cascade slowly down his hollow cheek.
Memories of the freedom it once had spear it's heart.
Whispsers of love pour forth between lovers.
Declarations of hate are unmercifully flung at him.
Intensity of survival hangs in the winds.
Screams of pain and anguish fill the valley.
Silence and precious dreams captivate their slumber.
