I have a test for everyone who reads this or doesnt or w/e anyone does. the only requirement for this test is honesty, but it's very simple and we won't judge you for whether or not you say yes or no. This is one of my favorite poems:
Once there was a man who dwelt
Above the lofty peaks of stone
Above the misty clouds forlorn
In silent tears he dwelt alone
In hardened task one day he saw
A maiden shining with dark sad eyes
Like icy spears they pierced him with
Her shadowed sorrow and mourning cries
What power in heaven could ever move
This long forsaken man to speak
Who hid between the mountains cold
Who hid behind the icy peak
O woman! Why do you cry?
What burden do you bear?
Unknown to me it breaks my heart
Is no one left to care?
Come and let me share your pain
Above the lofty peaks of stone
Above the misty clouds forlorn
In silent tears but not alone
It's by someone. without looking it up (of course) do you know who it is?
answer in a comment, i don't care if it's anonymous or not. I just love this poem, a lot.
I've started making new years resolutions, and haven't posted in a week, and feel bad about it, but i've been so busy i don't really have time to feel bad. I shouldn't even be doing anything but work, but if i don't get something down i'll explode. I'm really sorry for a lot of things, most of them are gonna remain private at least for now, but i wanted to apologize for this blog turning into a self-obsessed garbage can, i did not intend it that way, and as i have more free time, hopefully it'll become much more interesting and ingaging for everyone. So i'm starting with that poem, as my origin. Hopefully i'll get my resolutions and my last year summary up too, and please post yours if you feel like it, as comments cause i can't give unrestricted access.

I have no idea who wrote this -- could it be some fantasy writer that you love? Or could it be Poe? Or Tolkien?
Honestly, no idea on the poem. Frost, perhaps? It's really beautiful though. Really, really beautiful.
Glad to see a post from you. It was getting kinda lonely on here. New Years resolutions, yay! And in terms of the regrets...don't have too many, it's not healthy. The best thing about regrets is learning from them and moving on, not just living in them.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing more posts on here. I missed them.
